> Last I know Sweden is not doing too well compared to Finland. I don't know if that's the case, but if so, it just might be related to Sweden having shitloads of more Somalis than Finland.

But Somalia has a government. It's just not very effective at maintaining order, or interested in it. The point is that Somalia is just not a good argument for why life without governments would be bad, especially since it does have one.

Well, it's somewhat comforting to know it's mostly about user input. Thanks! Not that it's easy to secure input handling either. I've seen that kind of timing attack discussed somewhere, and the solution there was to do some kind of byte-by

Our economies are finally about to collapse under the weight of their impossibility, and that's likely to cause some kind of upheaval. That's not about Ethnic Group A hating Ethnic Group B , even though something like that may well happe

It bugs me that apparently, everything I'll ever host can just be "owned" at will by some random bunch of hackers doing whatever they feel like doing. Is it feasible for a "mere mortal" to stay safe?

Don't get an economics PhD. As some have pointed out, a lot of the "status quo economics" is just hand-wavy nonsense, and there might not be much demand for that stuff five years from now.

If "high-intensity electromagnetic emissions" from cell towers kill people , I doubt making them safe is just a matter of placement. If you want to place some in the middle of a city, they will be close to a lot of people , and if their e

Is the talk's central idea that abstractions are bound to leak and we'll just have to deal with it? I did skim through the beginning of it, but then Youtube's player suddenly skipped to the end and stopped, and I moved on. The thing is, SQL

Look, I'm willing to believe that SQLAlchemy is the bad-assest ORM on the planet, but I'm not convinced I'll never need to circumvent it to get something done, and I'm free to consider that a problem (along with other commenters, it seems).

The problem with ORMs seems to be that they're a leaky abstraction. I've been very happy using SQLAlchemy for quite a while now, but I'm intentionally only using the SQL Expression API. Based on my experience with Hibernate, there's always
