The OP's '[2] Inaccurate Generalization' rider definitely needed to be there ;-) UK universities grade in many different ways, often based on course and project work. I'd say that the LSE's exam-only option is in the minority. For example my degree came out of a combination of closed book exams, individual & group projects, and open book essays. However it is rare for there to be continual assessment of coursework throughout the whole degree. It's generally based on a set set of special case bits of work near the end of a term/year.

That said — in my experience — the course work that UK universities that's much less susceptible to cheating in general than some stuff I've seen from US universities. Work varies more year-on-year, and the kind of work involved are things like essays, projects, etc that are harder to copy in a sensible way. I don't think I did a single multiple choice test in my whole degree.

He's spot on about the difference in expectation on top grades though. I've had some… interesting… chats with US students in the past when they went from all "A"s at their US institution to 70-80% at UK ones. Not so much because their answers were wrong — but because they're answers weren't 'excellent'. It seemed to cause an enormous amount of stress for them!

Well, my personal view is that I can see absolutely no reason why a proper general artificial intelligence is not possible (and yes, I know about a lot of the philosophical objections) - after all, we have an example of at least one kind of entity that displays general intelligence (i.e. us) and I can see no reason why whatever mechanisms the brain uses to create general intelligence couldn't be replicated by an "artificial" system.

Mind you, I think we are a long way off from actually having the theoretical or practical ability to build a true general intelligence - but I'm pretty confident we will get there eventually. Whether this development will actually turn out to be a good idea (Culture) or bad idea (Skynet) is another thing entirely.

Reference counting? I didn't know reference counting was used with slices, I thought they just used the GC.
OK, that matches what I was thinking. The trick is that to make it equivalent to basic income, the threshold level you describe would be different from the equivalent basic income level.

For example, if you take a basic income system with a $20k guaranteed minimum income - if you tried to recreate that with a negative tax bracket and a threshold of $20k, you would need to pay 100% of the shortfall. And even then, you would effectively have a 100% marginal tax rate; until you make $20k there is no financial incentive to work at all.

Instead, to get the equivalent of a $20k GBI, you would need to do something like, set a $40k threshold, with a negative tax of 50% of your shortfall. So at 0 income you get $20k. (And at 10k income you get 15k in negative tax, for a total of 25k, etc.) Of course, your marginal tax in that example is still very high at 50%. To make the marginal tax rate low, which is desirable at low income levels, you would either need to set a very high threshold, or more likely, have multiple negative tax brackets at different rates.

What I still fail to see is how this is "better" than a standard guaranteed income. It just seems like people will find it much more confusing than providing a fixed amount to everyone and having positive tax brackets as we do already (albeit different ones).
I'm not writing the following to make people pick another language - if Go is suitable for your project in terms of features, runtime, tools and community, then by all means use Go. It's a fairly decent platform to target and it can further evolve to meet more stringent needs.

But if we are talking about the cost of abstractions, the biggest elephant in the room is that Go's GC is NOT optional, which makes it unsuitable for ... (1) systems programming and (2) real-time systems.

C++ and Rust do not suffer from this. And Go is not even suitable for soft real-time systems, because for that you need a GC that never stops the world - right now Go is even less suitable than Java in this regard, because at least for Java you've got the pauseless GC from Azul Systems.

> "But, for systems programming, abstractions suck. They always, always have a cost."

That's a logical fallacy, because if all abstractions suck, then why aren't we doing "systems programming" in assembly (were systems programming is whatever the definition du-jour you prefer to fit Go in)? Clearly, it depends on the project on where it can draw the line, since we are always doing compromises for gained productivity, no? And going back to the non-optional garbage collection that's not even suitable for soft real-time systems, it kind of makes the point on Go avoiding higher-level abstractions on purpose kind of bullshit.

> "It does not make it possible to make things pretty (ugh, nil)."

It's not about pretty-ness, it's about correctness - which in a language containing memory unsafe constructs that can lead to billion dollar bugs (i.e. Heartbleed), is a freaking huge deal. Rust is very innovative in this regard, because it's a systems programming language that solves many issues by means of its more advanced type system - and surely no type system is perfect, but even a single bug that's caught by the compiler, that's a bug that won't reach production.

> "It just makes it impossible (ok, really hard) to overcomplicate things."

I wish developers would stop equating "complicated" to things "I don't understand". That's not what complicated means. Here's the definition: "consisting of many interconnecting parts or elements". That Go doesn't allow certain higher-level abstractions, that's in itself a recipe for complications.

> "for tools that only need to do one thing and do it extremely well, it's either that or C. And I'm not going back to managing my own memory anytime soon"

The choice between C and Go, given that Go is garbage collected, is a false dichotomy.
Because theres nothing glamorous about that.

Messi's maternal grandfather not convinced with his performance..
Neat. Of course, one easy way to see it is analogous to the base 10

If x = 0.3333...
then 10 x = 3.3333...
so 9x = 3
and thus x = 3/9 = 1/3.

but in binary.

In binary, clearly the sum
would be represented as

0.01010101...

so if x = 0.01010101...
then 100 x = 1.01010101...
so 11 x = 1
and thus x = 1 / 11, or in decimal 1/3.

Edit: Of course, the Culture also appeals because of the much higher ambient humour level in the Culture than in the po-faced Federation.

Maybe that's true, but do you know this or are you speculating? I'm asking because I'm from Norway - a country with one of the highest percentages of gun ownership in the world - almost exclusively hunting rifles and shotguns -, yet where most people would be absolutely horrified if anyone tried to push through a "US style" liberalisation of gun laws. We have very strict gun laws, both in terms of licensing, what type of weapons are allowed, and storage.

Maybe hunting is much more tied to a specific sub-culture in the US than it is internationally, I guess.

I'll add to that that the overhead is not proportional to the amount of garbage your application generates, it's proportional to the amount of data blocks your application has allocated. Garbage collection is also often performed by suspending the application (stop the world) at unpredictable moments and with an unpredictable duration. Garbage collection can thus be a serious problem for some type of applications. This is why the GC should be optional.

I guess then my reaction is "what idiot would sign a contract like that?", but I guess desperation in most areas if there is a lack of other housing. After all, some people put up with living in London/San Francisco/New York/etc. where they will likely never own a home unless they win the lottery, so I guess if the need is high enough, people will put up with some truly terrible situations with where they live.

Very correct. We even have the source code. (About 700 MB worth of it.) Of course, we have no way of running it or an approximation of it, it is for a ridiculously complicated and massive parallel physical and biochemical computer following rules that we can’t begin to comprehend at any level. But we have sequenced the entropy that goes into it – so the existence proof is trivial. (As you indicate.)

"destination address" to any router on the path to the actual destination

1) In normal IP, the source does not know the route to the destination. You can try to guess with traceroute, but that's not authoritative. And the route out may not be the same as the route back. There may not even be a single well defined route.

2) This has the same pattern as the various reflection/amplification attacks and facilitates DDOS. I think that what "network management" means; if you provide means for people to flood the network with bad traffic then it becomes unusable for everyone, or at least it becomes possible to silence a site or endpoint on an ongoing basis.

3) You've assumed that there's no legal responsibility attached to re-emitting these packets.

Yes, that can happen sometimes, especially when you are working between dev and production environments. But basic things like improvising array De-referencing syntax should not be done this late in time, don't you agree?

Other languages do have innovations but they are in advanced things - C# improvisations were in introducing LINQ library and the parallel task library. Python has a standard way of doing basic things like array De-referencing since the 90s!. Then why is PHP changing such basic language constructs today? 5.3 was released in 2009. Language constructs ought to have been standardized by then.

Airports is one of my favourite examples, because you're not even able to go elsewhere once you're past the security gates. It's not unusual for a single company to get the concession and then set up franchises of brands that people would normally expect to be separate. E.g. at Oslo Airport every place to buy food in the international departures area from Pizza Hut to the "upscale" champagne bar and lounges is run by the same company.
Rust and Haskell are made to reduce the amount of problems you have.

I've seen newbie programmers learn Haskell as a first language in under a term. So I don't believe the marketing from the Google people that their language is worse because it is simpler.

Choosing something because marketing told you it was easier is just as silly as choosing something because of ego. Calling people egoists when they choose a tool because of reasoned arguments based on evidence is simply anti-intellectual, and rude.

Dear Reader, 30th June 2014

It is true that Madoff did not cause the 2008 crash but don't tell me that the public at large do not know one or some of the hundreds of thousands of VICTIMS from the fallout of the 2008 crash, which Bernie Madoff, Allen Stanford and other fraudulent financial institutions and bankers were party to.
As usual the media looks after itself scandalising the truth to sell copy.
As a Madoff class action lead plaintiff these past 5 years who has followed most aspects of Madoff related litigation together with cause and effect, I know that it is a misrepresentation to promote the idea that only celebrities or pension funds were defrauded. Indeed pension funds were attracted to Madoff and Madoff related investment schemes as their track record was in fact conservative, showing a consistent modest profit over a long period of time. To wrongly believe that individuals where not harmed is because the silent majority do not have the money to hire lawyers to fight their case. Many of the INDIRECT VICTIMS were pensioners like myself, having worked hard all their lives in order to provide for themselves and their families and then duped by bankers and unscrupulous financial institutions who had jumped on the Madoff money making merry-go-round.
The US Justice Department has received over 51,700 Claims from 119 countries for more than $40 Billion US dollars. When you understand that Irvin Picard the Trustee for the liquidation of Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC (BLMIS)has distributed nearly $10 Billions to Madoff Direct Victims and taken nearly $1 Billion in expenses and legal fees and that there are still claims for over $40 Billions from INDIRECT VICTIMS outstanding, gives one an understanding of the enormity of the crime and the complicity and involvement of the 'Established Financial Institutions'
For verification check the Madoff related web sites.
