Thanks, I think you parsed a message that I could not (I never fit in at school).

This ought to be less of a problem now with so many more unschoolers and homeschoolers for support; I think there are better ways to address it than by imprisoning more children rather than less; and it sounds like these ones had a better childhood on the whole and turned out fine as adults.
I'm guessing he refers to atomics with relaxed memory ordering. That doesn't give much in terms of guarantees beyond atomicity and no "out-of-thin-air" values. I'm not sure of whether this is a data race under Rust's definition though.

No, it was the ECB that decided not to extend Greece's credit because the government didn't implement the cuts they demanded. Maybe their government will lead them into ruin or maybe it will not. But it was democratically elected and has strong popular support. It's not the job of the ECB to bully other countries into doing what they think is best.

"The C++11 standard is, ahem, vague in some places and different compilers choose to interpret the standard, well, differently."

I'm a little curious to know what they were doing.

EDIT: Dammit, I should have kept reading, the very next sentence has: " Lots of compilation errors that involve this-c++-template-thingy-with-lots-of-angle-brackets does not match that-c++-template-thingy-with-lots-of-angle-brackets-that-has-a-const-somewhere-in-the-middle."

and personally I would have thought that of course you need the consts to match and it would have been this way for literal decades now.

That's another protected characteristic that you've admitted to discriminating against.

Do you actually hire people?
Your anecdotal experience does not invalidate his.
Do you have any data that top talent tends to value equity higher than salary? All the smart guys I know favor the latter. Too many companies use it as a tool to trick the less intelligent guys that they'll make bookoo bucks despite being given a joke amount of equity. Plus, you as an engineer rely upon your C team and potential investors to be competent enough to not screw things up. I also live in a state with lower taxes, which could be part of it, and a weak startup scene.

Equity will cost you at least 25% in taxes, should you get something out of it and needs to be accounted for. Additionally, you need either a lot of equity or a large exit to come out ahead of a higher salary that allows you to invest the difference, netting you at least a 5% return normally. On top of that, if you have 401k matching based on salary percentage contributed, you'll net a larger 401k, which is even more money. Further, to get that equity you have to remain at most places for 4 years, which seems to be pretty atypical nowadays.

If someone offered non-trivial amount of equity for a lesser salary that is a completely different scenario.

I've ran the numbers for a startup that just made me an offer and it is pretty absurd how much smarter a larger salary would be at a 200 million or smaller exit.
> I believe most investors would be extremely wary of placing any money into Greece post-default.

Well, investors are already wary. In any case, I'm not convinced that foreign investment is the most important factor here. Exports would surely go up and similarly tourism could flourish if the currency devalues.

edit: from ft.com: "Credit rating agencies already have said they will not consider non-payment to the IMF a proper default, since they only care about debts owed to private creditors."

> Also, The problem with creating a new currency is that no one will have any reason to trust that the government will be able to back it with real economic value.

It will take on a value, just much less than the euro currently has. If they control the supply, why would it not have value?

Once again, the situation is bad, but once things have recovered a bit (say after two or three years) the future should look better than it currently looks within the euro.
One additional variable would be the cost to replace any assets lost on the 1 unsuccessful launch, although I'm not sure who ultimately picks up the tab for that.

"4. Identify your target, and what is behind it." is short for wherever the bullet or shot will end up, be it deflected if you're shooting at a surface at a low angle, or in an arc coming down. For shotguns, it's fundamental to be aware of where the shot comes down.
There are always two camps of people in this debate. One camp says the medical expense and overhead dealing with regulations and union are too costly to operate manufacturing entirely in the US. There is another camp that says the cost operating oversea (training staff, relocating senior staff oversea, legal and book keeping management) is close to operating in the US.

Fact is many companies are now moving away from China, and are signing up new manufacturing sites in other Southern Asian countries such as Thailand and Vietnam for lower operational cost (note a lot of the U.S. companies give contract to oversea manufacturer, so it is these manufactures moving away from their own domestic sites - for example, Foxconn being a largely a Taiwanese company Foxconn manufactures outside of Taiwan).

I don't know how close operating in the US vs operating half of the business offshore is. This is like hiring consultant oversea for software development. The first burden is operational efficiency; it is painful to manage oversea when you want your "brain power" to be in the US. For example, project manager might have to get up early say 6-7 AM to do a stand up and then follow up at 9/10AM (because your business owner / product owner don't get up at 6 to talk about progress). If there are bugs that need to be resolved during US hour, you still have to pay the extra hours. You are wasting time going-back-and-forth because your offshore team will get off work when you want to fit a meeting in the afternoon.

While most Chinese workers do not form union (fear of repucation), workers do come out and protest from time to time (see Foxcoon strikes). Local laws also do not often favor US companies, and local laws can be a pain in the ass.

The only thing I can think of that will keep some companies manufacturing outside of the U.S. is that these companies simply do not have cash in the US. Imagine a company like Apple (Apple has like 90% of its cash outside of US) the only way they can spend that money is do stuff outside of US.

This is just my uneducated opinion, having little idea how business and economy works. I am all for moving closer to proximity. If you are selling in the U.S. it makes sense to manufacture her. This is why many manufacture sites are now built in Mexico (looking at car makers). Shipping cost have been reduced in the last two decades because now we have bigger ships, but still, there is a schedule that you need to maintain.

Another classic example where some part of "making" are likely done domestic (or a place where known for using advanced technology) is the classic X ThinkPad series. The agreement Lenovo have with IBM is that the main design is to remain in a Japanese lab AFAIK. I am sure Lenovo has way to do stuff in China and do stuff in Japan, and still claim stuff are done in Japan. But branding is a good motivation for keeping certain things local.
> The typical expectation of privacy by most folks is completely flawed

I expect to have privacy while on my own property and there is nothing flawed about that expectation.

> With absolutely zero exceptions across several hundred people, the reaction has been positive.

My reaction would be positive too, if you came and introduced yourself beforehand or were flying safely in a public space.

I wasn't saying earlier that drones are always going to cause stress. I said that having a mystery drone show up near or on their property is going to bother many people. And I'm definitely not in the minority there.

You claimed above that drones were loud and short lived, therefore useless for surveillance. But that's not the point. They can still cause people great bother if the pilot isn't careful to respect people's comfort zones. Particularly while drones are a new thing and people haven't made any room in their comfort zones for them

Edit: to be clear, the courteous piloting you describe yourself as doing is not an issue in my book at all. I would be more than happy to have pilots like you around my property. My point is that discourteous piloting, where people are left wondering about the UAV on their property, is going to cause grief.

You know this thing called reading? It's about ten times faster than video for sharing verbal content.
Not knowing how to do a thing is a pretty good argument against it actually happening in any short period of time. Since we can't even define consciousness... conscious machines seem pretty speculative.

As far as Kurzweil goes as a prophet: how is his track record? Pretty bad as far as I can tell.
Because of the LAS, Dravon v2 has to carry more fuel than v1. And it's not only the rocket motors that are heavy, but the supporting equipment and structure (peak loads are different for some parts of the structure). All of that leads to higher mass. The v2 is not just a v1 + LAS rocket motors, but in large parts a severly altered design.

As for having a chance to test the systems: That's what the recent pad abort test (and subsequent in-flight tests) are for. Plus, the engines, being liquid engines, are each tested prior to installing them on the spacecraft. You'll need to do that anyway, and you are always hoping that you'll never need to use that system (does not fully apply to Dragon v2 since they intend to use the LAS system for landing the capsule with the rockets some time in the future).

I still say it does not make sense to equip a cargo mission with LAS capability. (Disclosure: I'm an aerospace engineering student, M.S., so it's an educated guess rather than a theory on my part)

Sidenote: Solid LAS systems, as used on most other capsule systems, cannot be tested like liquid systems. You'll need a comparative test with built-alike motors but cannot test the same system that will be installed in the spacecraft.
> Interesting read, but I don't like the fact that I am a mercenary if I go elsewhere. There are plenty of reasons for moving to another company, money could be one aspect.

There's nothing wrong with money being the reason. You're at your job to make your employer money, after all.

Prioritize whatever you like -- it's your life -- and don't let anyone make you feel guilty about it, especially during salary negotiations. Just like they're selecting you for the unique combination of benefits you bring them, it's their job to come up with whatever terms will make the offer attractive to you personally.

Many people have lots of mental inertia when it comes to their career. If they leave, it's likely that they finally received an offer with a combination of benefits to them that really overwhelms what you're currently offering.

The way to ensure loyalty is to stay competitive, plain and simple; the way to do that is to be generous with compensation, flexible with work conditions (but never quality), and most importantly to be aware of what's important to the individual employee and actively watch the person's progress so you can increase the scope of their responsibilities as they gain experience. As you do so, make make sure their salary stays competitive with the market and also reward them with those little things that are important to them personally, not what you imagine employees like.

It takes hard work and financial resources to stay competitive. But if you do so, you'll be rewarded with decreased employee attrition and increased engagement while they're with you.

There's plenty of successors to daemontools following the same principles, but more advanced: s6, nosh, perp, runit, etc.

That said, from what I know systemd doesn't necessarily handle double-forking daemons any better. That is to say, if you set the service to Type=forking, it'll still need to use a PID file (with its inherent race conditions) or employ a PID guessing heuristic, which can fail.

This is a universal problem that no hack can truly solve. The bottom line is if you're running under a service manager, you don't daemonize. You delegate to the service manager to daemonize for you. Any deviation from this will be finicky on most Unix-likes.

The purpose of cgroups here is instead process tracking, i.e. reliably killing all children. But for some services this is exactly what you don't want, and then there's nothing stopping you from allocating cgroups yourself if needed, or talk to a cgroup hierarchy management daemon like cgmanager. Ultimately, you just want some unit of isolation here, so you can use whatever your platform has, i.e. jails or contracts.
> Everything must be well thought out before you start to write a line

Not exactly. When you are initially learning the language, you have to think a little more. But once you are comfortable with it, the type signatures dictate you what to do. Also, it's quite easy to refactor to a different design because of the types.
China is technically communist right? Shouldn't they be being taken care of by the state anyways?

edit: This is an honest question.
Interesting, what kind of debate?

Possibly something to keep in mind, but when ancient Chinese authors are talking about grain, they are probably talking about wheat, barley, millet or sorghum, rather than rice. The nucleus of Chinese civilization was in the Yellow river region, in northern China, where rice was not a native plant - as opposed to the Yangtze and Cantonese regions of China, which were colonized later.

No, it's not simple at all. You might not wish that anyone make $3 an hour, but neither do you have the ability to provide everyone in the world with jobs that pay more than $3 an hour. The argument from classical economics is not that low wages are good in themselves, but that the best system is where wages are set by the market, and wealth redistribution is done by the government and private charity.
Hey, while we're wishing, for my part I wish that everyone made $1B/hr! (After accounting for inflationary effects, of course.) Private jets for everyone!

But back in real life, while $3/hr may not be a lot compared to what some folks make, it's $3/hr more than someone making $0/hr makes, and it's triple what someone making $1/hr makes, and indeed a full 50% raise for anyone making $2/hr.

If I could wave a wand and give everyone who currently makes 0, 1 or 2/hr the skill set and the opportunity to suddenly make $3/hr, I'd be happy to do it. And the billions of people (hundreds of millions maybe?) who suddenly got (in their terms) a huge raise would be pretty happy about it too.
As oil and gas prices in the US reach parity with China, China remains relevant only where labor costs are a factor. As manufacturing becomes increasingly automated, Chinese factory workers (and indeed most of the world's unskilled workers) will become unemployed. That is a double edged sword....it will be great for businesses until enough people are unemployed that only a small percentage of the population can afford to buy the goods they are producing.

For sure, Switzerland is an amazing wealth-generator. In addition to all you mentioned, it also exports great tennis players, my personal favorite Swiss product :)

I meant that it is a strategically situated, naturally beautiful, culturally strong state of about 10 million people.

Greece shares all of these traits, and can build up industries like Switzerland has if it has a more independent state and implements Swiss-like policies.

They won't be the exact same industries .. they both attractiveness for tourists, but people come to Switzerland to ski and trek, and go to Greece to sail and relax on the beach. Similarly Switzerland might make drugs, chocolate and watches, while Greece excels in shipping & shipbuilding.

Certainly Switzerland is far ahead of where Greece is now. But it's proof that a similar state can become a economic powerhouse without the Euro. With a devalued currency, in addition to boosting existing industries, Greece will become an attractive place for foreign multinationals to setup factories, so it can grow new industries from scratch as well.
In addition to gizmo's comment the story also seems unreasonable in another way. The very last chapter, starting at 10m18s, presents a false choice between establishing a fiscal union and pending doom. That union is modeled as the Frankfurt ECB office and is characterized as "The United States of Europe".

From the story:

"This brings us back to that fundamental division of monetary policy and fiscal policy. Ultimately, the euro area requires a fiscal union to match its monetary union, or neither. That is, there must be a political organization with authority to set fiscal policy within every euro area country. It must have the power to cut spending, raise taxes and set laws."

The authors of the story clearly believe that a fiscal union will solve all problems of deficit across the European union, but plainly fail to articulate why beyond presenting an animated hand which is cutting state spending.
Sadly this doesn't address the reason I import from China and not from the USA - where the product is likely to be of better quality - the cost of shipping.
I just recently had to cancel a large order from our first USA wholesaler when we discovered that the cost to ship via DHL or FedEx would cost 500% more than the value of the items themselves.
This maybe a New Zealand problem but often shipping from China is free despite the distances being the same
I agree with him. In this case, American entrepreneurs are abusing Chinese people. It's a human rights issue.

Sorry, I'm no troll on most days. I agree with you on Jesus, but mainstream christianity was already so far removed from his teaching just a few centuries after his death. I could be interpreted to have said "those christians with segregative values", of which there are many communities, priests/pastors and churches. You can say they're not christians, and I'd even fancy your definition, but they would beg to differ, splattering Jesus on your face.

"Be prepared to be much less productive in Haskell[.]"

Likely to be the case, but mostly because there's a lot to learn before you can be effective as an intermediate or senior level Haskeller.

"[Y]ou can't just get into it and start writing code. Everything must be well thought out before you start to write a line (and yes, that's how it's supposed to be but sometimes it's easier to just hack something together to see what issues might arise, and then make it beautiful)."

This is not the case at all. You can write Haskell that way, but remember that 1) with type inference, you don't need to specify the types of most things up front; and 2) you can change your types as you go. You can totally just start coding, and then later peel out this tuple into a named type and such. I find I'm most productive somewhere between the two extremes - start from the few types that I know must be fixed (by the fact that I'm interfacing with other code expecting them), then continue sketching in both types and code and let each guide the other.

"On the other hand, the beauty of Haskell is that the code is much cleaner and modular."

When you're doing it right, absolutely.

"Don't be fooled, though: Even in Haskell you can write very ugly code."

Also very much the case - I've done it!
