> No, those 70% weren't just some privileged elite

You just cherry picked one number of one country, I can do the same to reach opposite conclusion if you want to argue in bad faith.

> In a 2017 survey, 75% of Estonians said the dissolution of the USSR was a good thing, compared to only 15% who said it was a bad thing.[10]

Mirroring your argument, 75% of people say it was a good thing for what happened. (to quote you those 75% are people who simply think differently than you might.)

> People value different things in life. And there's no single system that can really embrace and fairly represent all views.

Are you actually arguing that dictatorship and oppression should be respected because some people like them?, I'm sure everyone in NK absolutely loves Kim and their system.

> Emigration, as a component, works out of simple self interest. In this proposed system the cost of emigration would be relatively low, yet the benefits would not.

So what do you do if all 10B people living everywhere want to move to the US tomorrow?
Insurance/banking company I worked for has made billions from incentives. Exercise, getting preventative tests, driving slower, reducing dangerous credit behaviour. Works in their market (might not in yours) and the clientele has self selected, so now they have a huge client base who largely follow incentives, which reduces their risks massively. If you drive fast you go elsewhere. That’s half the secret. It’s harder to replicate without the client base.

How often do you hear that your software is vulnerable? How often has someone from your team shared a post asking to check if your software is affected by a severe vulnerability? Show them this link — don't wait for someone with deep technical expertise to come back with a list of vulnerabilities. They won't. They will tell you that, yes, we know that we had some vulnerabilities, but those were false positives or migration issues causing breaking changes. It is your software, your business, and your responsibility to find the right spot in the project schedule to fix it. With CheckDEP, you will need just a software manifest and a few seconds of your time to analyze and plan corrective measures.

Ooh, Neko was 1989 - I'm not sure when I first saw the Lunar-Lander game on the Amiga that had a similar mechanism, but it would have been around then.

Gravity vs thrust, with left + right controls, the idea was to carefully land on any of the windows on your desktop.

This would be more helpful if it dove into the Erlang side, as many of these "gotchas" are due to how Erlang and the BEAM work, and Elixir, being built on top of it and binary-compatible with the entire ecosystem, necessarily exhibits these behaviours.

Keyword lists, charlists vs strings (actually called binaries) [1], empty map matching all maps are obvious if you look at how they work in Erlang.

I haven't written a single line of Erlang though I can grok it pretty well by now. Knowing the entire platform is how you become a productive Elixir programmer, though it seems some devs refuse to look behind the curtains to understand the Erlang side of it, thus never truly understand the power of the BEAM platform.

---

1: I admit I still unsure about the separation of charlists and binaries. As far as I understand it, binaries are stored in their own heap to avoid copying when sending across processes, so are ideal for sharing large payloads, and charlists are not great for UTF-8 content, as they simply are a naive list of integers (hence one of the gotchas). Erlang uses charlists a lot for "string" content.

Elixir made the right choice to use binaries for strings, as they can ensure they are correctly encoded, provide high-level API to deal with the intricacies of Unicode, and still retain compatibility with Erlang by providing charlists and raw binaries for non-UTF-8 data.
I’m just saying that the idea of “the healthcare system in the US is extremely market based” is not really accurate. If anything it seems less affected by market dynamics than healthcare in other places.
This is a fabulous result, both positive and negative, for many reasons. But one of the things people don't realise is that there is a reason why it's interesting mathematically and not just a gimmick.

In Classical Euclidean Geometry there are five axioms, and while the first four seem clear and obvious, the fifth seems a little contrived. So for centuries people tried to prove that the fifth was unnecessary and could be proven from the other four.

These attempts all failed, and we can show that they must fail, because there are systems that satisfy the first four, but do not satisfy the fifth. Hence the fifth cannot be a consequence of the first four. Such systems are (for obvious reasons) called Non-Euclidean Geometries.

So we can use explicit examples to demonstrate that certain proofs are impossible, and the Banach-Tarski Theorem is a result that proves that a "Measure"[0] cannot have all four obviously desirable characteristics.

We already live in alternate realities depending on what media we consume. Which is determined by our political group. Which is largely determined by location or socio-economic status, etc.

I mean literally having wildly varying beliefs about what is true or not. Especially political beliefs, each group believes that the other groups or their leaders are incompetent and corrupt. This goes for splits inside of a country but also in regards to other countries.

Technology is an amplifier. But it shouldn't be blamed for problems that humans create due to the nature of humanity and the poor organization of society and poor integration of information.

The Release of Julian Assange
You have ID of who was in the car and when, and a 'report' button in the app for the next passenger. Easy enough, if something is reported you have the choice to wait for the next one while the trashed car goes to be cleaned or ride anyway at a discount if you solve it yourself - e.g: put the trash in a bag in the boot of the car. After N reports attributed to you, you get banned.

I suspect this is because googles search engine rarely returns more than 40 results for any query these days. Sure, it says "X million results", but if you actually start to scroll, you soon run out.

It depends on the book. In the case of Kafka's "The trial", for example, the manuscript is "the original" because the author never finished the work and all editions were made after his death based on that manuscript. However, with most books what happened is that the author sent the manuscript to the printer/publisher and there was then a bit of back-and-forth during which changes suggested by proofreaders were accepted or rejected by the author, other last-minute changes were made by the author, and so on, so in that case the manuscript is best thought of as "a draft" rather than "the original".

Usually the last edition produced during the author's life and under the author's supervision gives you the most reliable indication of the author's intention, what they call the "copy-text" in textual criticism, I think, but there are some interesting exceptions. For example, many people think the first edition of Mary Shellely's "Frankenstein" is better than a later edition, in which the older author appears to have wanted to make certain passages more respectable, less shocking, and thus arguably spoilt the work she produced in her youth. But that's presumably a matter of opinion. For scientific textual criticism we need all the editions, all the manuscripts, any manually corrected proofs or published copies that the author has written on, ...

I know the pain when developers want to start some new project but just don't have an idea. I had this pain for years. Now, with AI, it is easily possible for me to build a product like SaaS Forge.

It's completely free. I don't want to have anything. Just test it and give me some feedback.

Each of language groups across the globe has its own dominant and different messaging apps. US has Messenger, Korea has KakaoTalk, Japan took LINE, China built WeChat, Russia picked Telegram, and so on. The Meta Facebook/Messenger/Instagram triad isn't the global default of social apps the way it might look to people from US.

And I don't think it takes conspiracy theories to explain it, maybe users don't like platforms that isn't dominated by similar users of their primary language, or maybe there are something else that prevent app experiences optimized for two distinct cultures at the same time.

Given that this wonderful result has been posted again[0] I thought I would again provide a link to this explanation not of the result itself, but of why it's an important result in a wider context and not just a gimmick.

Here's the basic idea ...

In Classical Euclidean Geometry there are five axioms, and while the first four seem clear and obvious, the fifth seems a little contrived. So for centuries people tried to prove that the fifth was unnecessary and could be proven from the other four.

These attempts all failed, and we can show that they must fail, because there are systems that satisfy the first four, but do not satisfy the fifth. Hence the fifth cannot be a consequence of the first four. Such systems are (for obvious reasons) called Non-Euclidean Geometries.

So we can use explicit examples to demonstrate that certain proofs are impossible, and the Banach-Tarski Theorem is a result that proves that a "Measure"[1] cannot have all four obviously desirable characteristics.

That's the basic idea ... if you want more details, click through to the post. It's intended to be readable, but the topic is inherently complex, so it may need more than one read through. If you're interested.

> Horses typically have an average lifespan of between 25-30 years, but some can live much longer or shorter than this. Some breeds have been known to live up to 40 years or even longer in captivity depending on the breed, management practices, and overall care. Others, as a result of breeding and selection may live much shorter lives.

In the longest case, we could assume 50 x 30 = 1500 years. If you say that every generation came to live after 5 years, then 50 x 5 = 250 years. Again, you want to pick the absolute lowest bound (lowest number of generations) of the lowest bound (shortest years of generations) under labor conditions, which did not happen in reality. But if you think it took only 100-150 years to domesticate horses, then fine. I cannot provide a definite proof that you are wrong.

I get the same feeling; every time a museum or archive expands its collection, it's taking on a long-term responsibility for those objects.

Put your discovered objects in a warehouse, now their survival is conditional on the continued funding of whatever institution owns the building. If the items are in fancy climate-controlled storage units, who will maintain the air conditioning and pay the electricity bill for the next ten, fifty, or a hundred years?

I'm sure people who work at archives have to think about these questions on time-scales much longer than those offered by grants or rounds of charity fundraising.

Have you ever organized anything of size?

Financing is not the bottleneck. Organizational capacity might well be, though. As an organization, AMDs survival depended not on competing with nVidia but on competing with Intel. Now they are established, in what must be one of the greatest come from behind successes in tech history. 8 years ago, Intel was worth 80 times as much as AMD, today AMD has surpassed them:

Stock isn't reality, but I wouldn't so easily assume that the team that led AMD to overtake Intel are idiots.
It doesn't actually say that any more for me on google, I think they removed it at some point when it obviously didn't make sense any more.
No offense, I simply wanted to show that, even if what you say it's true, there is no "police state" trying to monitor and eventually shut down the Internet, like many are suggesting here and that there is a lot of leeway for the smaller actors.

Nobody is really worried if the website for Go packages doesn't fully respect GDPR, except maybe Go it's a Google product, but the best they can infer it's the demographics of Go developers, which they probably already know.

What is important is that the data collectors can be held responsible for the infringements.

Same objective I imagine for EIGAR (I know some of the founders), it is not to stop generative art using AI, but to stop pretending that massive data scraping of copyrighted material is fair use when Disney or Amazon or Netflix or any other tech mogul profits from them.

That isn't how you can buy VW, the market cap is totally misleading. VW Group has a bizarre structure, it is actually directly controlled by some Porsche Holding company, which is directly owned by the Porsche–Piëch family.

No, it is definitely ISO C (and C++) fault [1]. Without guidance of what's acceptable behaviour and what isn't, DWIM and "please don't break my code" is not a spec. Consider type punning via enum, which is still UB in c++ while explicitly supported by most implementations. Most users are wary of making use of it because of possible, if only theoretical, portability problems. Generally provenance, aliasing and the basic memory model are a mess and need a more rigorous underpinning after having been patched during the years with sometimes conflicting wordings.

Compare to the concurrent memory model: while DRF-SC still has a plenty of UB, it is at least possible for a competent programmer to figure out the correctness of their code.

I certainly do not believe that is realistic to stamp out all UB from C and C++ (at least while pretending that the resulting languages have anything to do with the original ones), but there is a lot that the standard could do to try to limit the most egregious cases, possibly providing different levels of conformance (like it is done for floats and IEE754).

[1] of course implementors are part of the committee so they are not blameless.
Did they prevent OEMs from tampering with the system install image by adding apps that compete with Teams or from removing Teams?

Are they fascistly on notice for market cap, not antitrust offense?

Is the remedy that EU dominates MS until their market share is acceptable, or did MS prevent others from installing competing apps on the OS they and others distribute?

In the US, no bundling applies to ski resorts working in concert with other ski resorts. Materially, did MS prevent OEMs or users from installing competing apps?
