Why would American consumers purchase a car made in Europe without the tariff?

It is never possible that the producers and their labor will benefit more than the aggregate harm imposed on consumers by a tariff.

The cost of a tariff on the economy will always be more expensive than the benefit it gifts to a select few. However, the political reality of the cost spread out to many people compared to the larger per person benefit enjoyed by a smaller number of cronies means that tariffs will almost always be popular.

The reason is not “solved” is that everyone has a different “problem” so it’s impossible to solve for all of them. Businesses solve for their use case using the the solution that fits their constraints.

Having a multitude of “solutions” is a feature, not a bug.
Another issue that delayed adoption in regards to GNAT specially was the licence, somehow debatable, similarly to what happened with Qt, or Java implementations.
You're getting downvoted, but thanks for posting this link. The blog post by Stan Carey (excerpted below) mentioned in it was quite interesting.

> Beg the question first appeared in English in a 1581 text of Aristotle’s Prior Analytics, and this translation has had semantic ripples down the centuries. The phrase is opaque because its use of beg is really not a good fit – it’s no wonder people have interpreted it ‘wrongly’. Had the original English translation been assume the conclusion or take the conclusion for granted instead of beg the question, there would be far less uncertainty and vexation.

> 269 out of 300 examples of begs the question used it to mean raises the question, more or less. That’s 90%. This figure show its huge predominance in contemporary discourse. Outside of formal debates and philosophical or semi-philosophical contexts, the traditional meaning of beg the question is hardly ever used. The evade the question use is rarer still.

> This is why insisting on the original use, as prescriptivists do, risks confusing many readers. It’s not a practical or constructive stance. Correctness changes with sufficient usage, yet sticklers still refuse to accept there can be more than one way to use this phrase. By adopting the tenets of one phrase → one meaning and original meaning = true meaning, they have painted themselves into a corner.

> The expression is ‘skunked’, to use Garner’s term. Grammarphobia agrees that it’s ‘virtually useless’, and Mark Liberman recommends avoiding it altogether. In formal use I advise caution for this reason, but in everyday use you’ll encounter little or no difficulty or criticism with the raise the question usage.

Additionally the LangLog link shows that "begging the question" is a result of badly translating a less than perfect translation. Greek to Latin and Latin to English.

> Some medieval translator (does anyone know who?) decided to translate Aristotle's "assuming the conclusion" into petitio principii. In classical Latin, petitio meant "an attack, a blow; a requesting, beseeching; a request, petition". But in post-classical Latin petitio was also used to mean "a postulate"

> Why begging the question? Well, petitio (from peto) in this context means "assuming" or "postulating", but it has other (and older) meanings, from which the notion of logical postulate or assumption arose: "requesting, beseeching". So rather than use some fancy Latinate term like postulate or assume, people decided to use the plain English word beg[ging] as a sort of calque for the "requesting" sense of petitio. But even in the 16th century, I think, it was a bit odd to warn people against presupposing the end-point of their argument by telling them not to beg their conclusion.

I agree. My initial comment was just saying that people will not want another old president, with the exception of convinced trump voters.
Well usually the framework requires a plug-in and the plug-in requires RTFM which not all developers do. Also these frameworks and their plug-ins change and have their own dependency management that can cause code rot in short order that leads to accessibility or functionality falling off quickly. The solution to this becomes smoke testing for these already solved problems. Standardizing on built-in behavior makes testing all of this functionality the responsibility of someone not on your payroll or Jira board. I get that this isn't always going to be the solution, but that doesn't mean our code still needs to follow patterns developed to support Internet Explorer.
What's there to mention about it?

Long ago, c++ exceptions and objective C exceptions didn't play well together but they've been unified so that's not an issue anymore.

(In the beginning, Objective c exceptions were macros around setjump()/longjump(). Objective C 2.0 added actual language level support with @try/@catch/@finally/@throw which were compatible with C++ exceptions)

I totally agree that chimps didn't learn warfare from humans, but this statement is incorrect. Primates and cetaceans have both been shown to have a cultural memory. In theory, there is no reason a successful foraging strategy like breaking nuts with rocks couldn't propagate to the entire species.

My argument relies on acknowledging what you've said as the current, horribly dysfunctional reality. You don't need to state it plainly.

What happens to a society when a large subset of the population is forced to subsidize a 100% profit margin on the most expensive basic good most will ever put money towards, and it doesn't even buy them stability or predictability in access to that good? I guess we're going to find out.

Strictly speaking it's between Alphabet, the company popularly known as "Google" (and subdivisions - here's another from the same family[0]), and ad blockers.

That each product line is a singular actor that has no bonds to the rest is a fake image to convey. But then for the company behind this campaign having many different hands in the game makes it seem like there are really more parties opposed to ad blockers than reality would have it.

[edit: oliver used wall of text. Was it effective?]

No need to get defensive, no one is arguing that rust doesn’t do a lot of things well.

They’re saying that a lot of the restrictions makes things much harder than other languages. Hence the general problem rust has where a lot of trivial tasks in other languages are extremely challenging.

The fact that these things are much harder in rust due to design decisions in the language to ensure that everything is guaranteed to be safe in all cases does not change that the language can be harder to use.

You’re talking up getting a safe implementation in C, but what matters is “can I get the same level of safety with less complexity in any language”, and the answer is yes: Java and c# implementations of a thread safe linked list are trivial. If I wanted I could do it in c++ though the complexity would be more than c# and Java it would be easier than rust.

We know that rust makes some things more complicated than other languages for the same level of safety plans correctness, but that’s ok because complexity is a trade off. Rust has increased complexity of some “simpler” things to reduce the overall complexity of larger systems. This is an ok choice.

But it is still a trade off, and part that trade off does make some things harder.

People can point that out without it being an attack on the language.

For a secure communications app, the website is awfully light on details of that security. This could just be a mis-alignment issue (i.e. website aimed at "average users" who may find technical jargon a reason to avoid the app). But my initial question of "why would I use this over Signal or GPG emails?" doesn't seem answerable from the website.

The security page says:

> 3. Verified and Secure -- Widely reviewed Open Source Public Key Cryptography and App itself can be fully audited and accredited.

As a bit of feedback, this description needs some cleanup. The word "can" in here is a scary word. Has the app been audited and accredited? If it has, make that clear. (Perhaps include information about when the app was audited and by whom.) If it has not been audited and accredited, this advertising blurb is a super red flag. "We could do some security stuff in the future but have not yet" wouldn't go onto the website, but you've wrapped the statement in enough jargon that unsophisticated users may be misled.
I really want to have a strong vibrant anti-stasis tech-driven rallying point. But it's so clear that the California Ideology has been warped into endless corporate liberty to do whatever, that there's no adversarial Interoperability allowed, that it's a become an ideology around building fiefs and believing in absolute sovereignty of the lords of the data center. It's so weird to me how pervasively illiciting control over each and every device in humanity's world is just aok, better than fine. Has this ideology always been consumed by such a top down belief structure, thought that only a few need to participate and sheppard & steer & everyone else gets to follow along? Or were there moments where this was a broader more encompassing & open hope?

What's just so staggeringly obviously blind about this situation is that if you want to accelerate & get humanity moving, this is so obviously such a hideous & narrow constrained path. Innovation is so contested by IP and "criminal violation of business model" (inability to write & use our own tools without being kicked off and/or sued by online properties). And further, the extreme consumerism of this high tech system reduces us, it keeps humanity under the heel of far off lords of the cloud; we can't grow to become a technological society under these conditions. We plod along under an rigged system where we are all infantalized, baby-ed along with glossy superficial interfaces that conceal the real bases of power that pervade all these systems we are so deeply entailed in.

I have a hard time assessing whether California Ideology has always been like this, or whether it's just the notable figures and people of late associated with CI that have brought us to such a point.
Funny, until I read this it didn't occur to me that this rule smacks of premature optimization. Odd though that often in optimizing an application after it's written we don't often consider something as high level as switching a tabbed interface to pure HTML/CSS from a JS framework plugin. I would guess this is due to cost, but I've never heard anyone articulate it this way...

How might the economy change with AGI? [video]
When I googled your company the only results listed total comp under $100k for software engineers. 120k is slightly better than that. Equity is worth zero at private companies unless there is a system in place to sell it, so don't try to claim that is worth anything to most people.

I make around $200k + equity as a Staff Engineer, fully remote, though as my company is also private, equity === 0. I would say I am moderately underpaid in the current market but I'm happy with that tradeoff since my company is fully remote, great work life balance, and I work with great people.

What they bring in my mind that is deeply surprising is the realization that from such a simple objective function (predicting the next word) could emerge such a wide array of general capabilities.
