For example c# had users like Jon Skeet, Marc Gravell and Erik Lippert (and various others) and they set the tone and the professionalism.
And you certainly don’t want an agency asset floating around in the legal/prison system of another country, friend or foe.
I think that’s a good thing, and I say that as an engineering manager.
Having been an IC, I’m acutely aware that developers, when aware of monitoring via performance metrics, will game that system.
You are a country. You have to decide on your country’s economic model before starting the game. Choose:
- a free market economy. Companies are unhindered by the state to make their own decisions to maximize shareholder value. Decisions therefore lean towards short term profit margins rather than long term success. Influence of the state via elected politicians on a short term is expensive but effective to ensure you are unhindered by regulation. Success here is not aligned with the long term success of the state.
- a quasi free market where there is partial state ownership and control, but also supports free market principles to encourage private investment. The state will heavily subsidize your economy and decisions can be made to prioritize long term global success rather than short term shareholder value.
- a state controlled and state owned economy. All decisions are made by committee. There are no shareholders apart from the state. Success benefits all within the state. Failure also tied directly to the state. Long term goals are preference over short term goals.
Choose carefully. Once your have made your decision the costs to change it are extremely high and will result in societal and economic collapse.
SEC is clearly ignoring FTD’s and as a result allowing MM’s to reloan unlocated synthetic shares.
Which is exactly what happened in 2008 with mortgage backed securities and CDO’s.
It just looks like static on old tvs to me.
Looking across the Atlantic…
But like you said, they will try to control it and fail. Like they always do.
Problem is it’s not exactly clean because you’ve got nuclear waste to dispose of and nobody wants it in their backyard. It’s mostly safe, but when it does go wrong it contaminates large swathes of land for thousands of years.
Its biggest problem is that it’s expensive[1].
Not only that - it’s getting more expensive.
Not only that - it will never achieve economies of scale.

Moreover this claim stinks.
Apple have enough legal experience with the EU and technically competence to have baked EU AI, privacy and anti-monopoly compliance into their product from the start.
In fact any U.S. company could base their products on EU legislation, since it provides wide safeguards for consumer privacy.
Apple deliberately chose not to and are now being deliberately obtuse and misleading.
Anyone would think they didn’t have lawyers.
Either they are incompetent or it’s a deliberate choice to play this card. I don’t think it’s incompetence.
Good for local database only jobs though. Niche use cases.
Go here and you’ll be redirected with a query string including a customer parameter. That looks like trouble.
Led me to wonder what happens if a domain gets a new owner, and they want to petition Apple to remove the block.
Instead it’s the more wordy “created a duke”, since his status was both created and granted to him. The title “Duke of Wellington” was expressly created for him.
Fun fact, he should have been “Duke of Wellesley”, but his elder brother, Richard Wellesley, had already been made Marquess Wellesley.
Since the peerage from Viscount to Marquess to Duke would ended up with two brothers potentially sharing the same title, they chose to give Arthur the title Viscount Wellington, from the town where the family heritage was connected to.
Therefore his title peerage line:
Viscount Wellington -> Earl of Wellington -> Marquess of Wellington -> Duke of Wellington
He was also technically a Baron before Viscount but he received that peerage the same day as his Viscount title.
Outside British peerage he held some other cool honors and titles. As well as being the Prince of Waterloo in Belgium the the Netherlands, he was granted the honor of “Knight of the Golden Fleece” in Spain, “Knight of the Black Eagle” in Prussia, and my personal favorite was “Knight of the Elephant” in Denmark.
In the UK we have lots of reminders of him namely because of the large number of pubs called “The Duke of Wellington”.
We are in the midst of a paradigm shift, and the perspective in the daring fireball post aligns exactly with this author’s perspective:

I seem to remember it was available at the same time as the Winamp skins / viz craze.
I once saw 4 of the SGI Onyx2 RealityMonster supercomputers in a post-production house’s render farm in London.
They were so expensive, ($1m+ per computer) that it was only financially viable if they were engaged on client work 24/7/365. Damn gorgeous things and they turned the display of those into almost an art piece for wow-ing film studio execs.
Fun times.
The use of “complexity” in terms of systems theory in comparison to “complicated”, is often misunderstood.
I also agree that it’s a really good framework for evaluating problems and then making decisions on potential solutions because each has its own set of approaches.
Small nick pick. It’s “Cynefin” not “Cynefine”. The word is Welsh (Cymraeg). Roughly pronounced ke-ne-fin.
