Trump sold the voters on the danger of ISIS and Islam when in reality only a tiny fraction of a percent of the population has ever been killed by them.
He then proceeded to dismantle the healthcare system with the blessing of his voters despite the fact that millions of people are killed by curable illness every single year.
I agree with you.
Leftists sold the voters on the danger of owning firearms when in reality only a tiny fraction of a percent of the population has ever been killed by them-- and even those are almost entirely gangsters anyway.
They then proceeded to institute a more and more socialist system that keeps blacks in the ghetto, fetuses in the mass graves (or sold off for experiments), and drowns the country in debt... leading, of course, to destabilization, revolution, and millions dying (just like the previous century).
Would you agree with me that the solution is to institute a "smaller" / more restricted government?
If you agree with that then perhaps we can both agree to vote for a libertarian (or Rand Paul or someone along those lines) in the next election.
The guy making 250k is tying most of that money up, either in overpriced real estate or putting it in a bank/stocks. You help the economy by putting money into circulation, which means it needs to be spent.
Isn't buying real estate the same as "putting money into circulation"?
Don't the people who sold the stocks / bonds to the guy turn around and then put the money into circulation?
Why do we care how someone else spends his/her money? We're not entitled to any of it.
Java has been around for over 20 years. JavaScript has been around for over 20 years. C# has been around for over 15 years. Haskell has been around for over 25 years. Python has been around for over 25 years. Go has been around for over 7 years. Rust 1.0 was released almost 2 years ago. There are many other "safe" languages that I haven't mentioned.
If you knew anything at all about software you would know the implications that garbage collection has on performance. It's a good thing you posted as AC because otherwise you would have just embarrassed yourself to the point that you'd probably be down-modded for the next fifty years.
So given all of this time, and all of these different non-C/non-C++ languages, why have we seen almost none of the types of software you listed be successfully implemented using them?
To reiterate: because performance.
Web browsers written in non-C/non-C++ languages have all been failures. Xena/Javagator was a failure. HotJava Browser was a failure. Grails was a failure. Servo is shaping up to be a colossal failure.
Face it, C and C++ have proven themselves to be the only languages capable of being used successfully for the types of software that you listed. Despite having had allegedly "safer" languages for decades and decades now, we haven't seen anyone come up with anything to successfully replace the software written in languages like C or C++.
I like C++. But you're mistaken in thinking that Rust should be compared to JIT languages like C# or Java or Javascript or to automatic garbage collected languages like Go or D. Yes, the details matter and Rust does have promise.
Time will tell whether C++ evolves and outpaces Rust or whether Rust's standard library and general ecosystem are better.
At this moment, though, it looks like Rust is roughly equivalent to C++ for performance which is not too surprising since rustc uses LLVM as its backend for compilation. I also think Cargo and crates are superior to the C++ way of handling libraries-- in the sense that a package manager is superior to manually finding libs and installing packages.
1. What are we supposed to be "progressing" to?
2. Why is that goal of our progress valuable to attain?
3. How does enforced or encouraged diversity attain that goal for us (as opposed to just letting the different people's of the world live where and how they want to)?
4. What are the things we should be tolerant of? Should we tolerate and ignore rapes, murders, theft, hate speech, communism, polygamy, spousal abuse, traffic violations, fraud, loud trucks next our houses, homosexual parades-- where is the list of things we must tolerate? Who defines it? Why should we tolerate these things on the list?
5. Why is diversity and tolerance valuable? And can you show me quantifiable measures of how valuable it is? Are we 20% wealthier if we are diverse? 5% wealthier? Are rapes 50% less likely in a diverse society? Is food 45% more plentiful? Are people 20% less happy without diversity? Show me, don't demand that I just accept your gospel.
It's "Free Speech" not "Free from hearing things I don't like"
Why? Because there's no way to objectively determine what's good and what's bad to say or hear.
So rather than potentially lose all of our civilization to censorship and pearl clutching we choose to pay the price of hearing idiots speak-- it's assumed that those who aren't fools can tell the difference between stupidity and ideas of importance.
Consequently, whatever your particular need, you may find that a FOSS application fits the bill where a proprietary one wouldn't, or vice versa. It just depends on exactly what functionality you want, and there's no hard and fast rule to guide you. You literally are forced to try different packages, see which ones are buggy, and then pick the one that's right for you.
In other, shorter words: "FOSS could be good; could be bad. Proprietary could be good; could be bad. Just depends. Use what works. Meh. Wishy-washy-whatever-man."
What will happen is that good, honest, well-intentioned people will, as always, be the ones that lose out
I'm pretty sure that well-intentioned, good, honest people won't vacation in ISIS land and then blog about how Americans should all be killed.
So you're wrong. Good, honest, well-intentioned people won't have anything to worry about from this.
Personally, it's the thrill of exploration and the unknown.
I understand. And I agree. I would absolutely love to get to Mars and explore (I'm on the third book of Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars Trilogy).
But isn't it unrealistic to expect others to pay to satisfy my personal thrill seeking and adventure?
Not everyone can make the trip to Mars. Not everyone even considers such a trip worthwhile.
Furthermore, shouldn't we doubt whether the government would ever find it in their interests to establish a base on Mars?
It's too far away to be useful as a military base and there's no constituents on Mars to satisfy.
Science doesn't really need meat bags on the surface to explore and measure the planet. Scientists may want to go very badly, but pretty pictures only gets you money up to a point and human missions are very expensive.
Isn't capitalism-- the hope that there's resources on Mars to make a buck out of-- the only reason we would have for actually establishing a sustained/sustainable human presence there?
The only people entitled to make more money is "not you"
But your sentiment betrays what's really going on: pure jealousy and greed. On your part.
Nobody's taking money out of your pocket-- oh wait, yeah the government is totally doing that.
Well, aside from taxes nobody is robbing you or holding you back. If you want to be mediocre and just live your life then don't complain when you get mediocre pay.
Otherwise, provide a good or service to lots of people and make lots of money. Nobody's stopping you.
Voluntary unions == Great.
Mandatory unions == Extremely bad... but not right away. It always takes a couple years for the real crap to show up. When it does it's bad.

Why hasn't this been modded up?
What if I'm against both kinds of legislated monopolies?
The ChromeBook is not even close to being as locked down as a games console.
For now.
Once it actually starts to gain traction (marketshare) they'll lock it down tighter than a duck's ass.
Those teenagers will grow up and get jobs (eventually).
Incompetent yet successful...
If they're successful then in what sense can they be said to be incompetent?

WTF am I reading???? Talk about apples and oranges-- you're comparing desktop environments to entire Linux distributions!

Sounds like someone doesn't know what taxes are.

Meaning... what exactly?
How about you put up some citations instead of asking an open-ended question and implying that the number is higher?

Whatever "this" is, it's on Breitbart, so it's about 99% likely to be utter bullshit.
Well you just unironically used an ad hominem attack and think that it's valid so I guarantee that 100% of what you have to say is utter bullshit.
