Readit NewsC, due to arrays, strings, arithmetic operations and memory allocations requiring unsafe code leads to 100% unsafe code across the existing code.
A security minded person will pick those 10%.
You can't just have one without being able to hold all of those responsible accountable.
He's also threatening not just the Russians, but the American citizens as well... that if they try to challenge the system as it is, then the politicians would rather start a major war than to address any concerns of fraud/corruption.
These billionaires don't matter. They don't fund the core advancements that matter, they're just data traders. Even if they pooled all their money it would be dwarfed by real technologists. Not political hucksters and new wall Street aka SV.
Surely, SV is just a cliquey jock and yacht club. Bunch of grandfathered aristocratic rich kids. What a joke.
It's great that browsers can achieve more functionality previously exclusive to native applications, but anytime a code editor written in JavaScript to be run in a browser is announced, I wonder one thing: why don't we try to come up with a client/server protocol that would allow you to use your local editor, which is already fully customized to your needs? Is the idea that the files being edited are remote and therefore the only thing that would make sense is improving extensions like "It' All Text!" or wasavi?
It ought to be enough if one can trigger opening a buffer in a local editor, which accesses a local webserver provided by your browser, backed by the textarea, and having a means of updating the textarea on save via a POST issued from, say, Emacs to Firefox's textarea-httpd.
It just can't be ignored that promising or lucrative businesses, workflows, models using SV infrastructure provided by Google et al, will just be passed off to those passing through the revolving door as "rewards", etc.

Corporate tax Norway: 25%
Corporate tax US: 35%
Individual (Min/Max) Norway: 0%/46.9%
Individual (Min/Max) US: 0%-3%/52.9%
Payroll tax Norway: 0%-14.1%
Payroll tax US: 20.2%
VAT Norway: 10%-25%
VAT US: 0%-11.725%
The tax systems are different though, for Norway, the max tax bracket is from 950.000 NOK (a bit over 100k USD). You do not pay tax until you make around 80k and the rates are progressive. You do have loads of deductibles though like paid interest, children, transportation etc.
So I wouldn't say we pay vastly more in tax here, but we still get social services.
The salaries here are not on EU level, but a bit higher. As an analyst I make about 1.1 million NOK/year. From that I pay around 350k in tax and that is not too bad compared to what we get in exchange. I actually have no objections to paying the tax.
Edit: BTW, I work 37.5 hours a week and two of the days are from home. And I have 27 paid vacation days a year + the public holidays :)
Edit2: the tax stuff was mangled, reformatting
Sadly in the US, the idealisms of socialism often also comes with certain european-centric identities, or commonly bastardized into race ideologies where their proponents emphasize a socialist "utopia" like Scandinavia. These people emphasize this socialism on the basis of certain similar attributes where they can afford such promises to a small percentage, through the removal or exclusion of those they decide are not like them.
Breaking down the US economic system, one would be quick to notice that there does indeed exist a kind of socialist utopia much inline with euro-centric ideologies. One that even dwarfs the so called socialist bastion of Scandinavia and europe.
Silicon Valley and Seattle/Redmond are probably the most cut throat areas you could work in. It gets really nasty there.
People earn a wider range of incomes in the U.S., so “workers have an incentive to try harder to move up the job ladder because a promotion is worth more,” said Dora Gicheva
-The income range in the US is so large that there are lots of people at the bottom end who have to work multiple jobs. How much does that have to do with the longer work hours, Bloomberg?
Generous pensions in Europe are also a strong factor in discouraging older people from working, the study said. In the U.S., more people over 65 are working than at any point in the past 50 years. The U.S.’s shift from traditional pensions to 401(k) plans makes it harder for Americans to know when it’s safe to retire.
-This sounds less like people in Europe are "discouraged" from working, rather than many Americans must work longer because they can't retire.

I would like to see a good rebuttal to this which is not "the end justifies the means".
His political credentials are: He's a tea party member, and he's a republican. That's it.
He's just saying this to compensate his lack of any experience in the leadership role he's about to fill.
Edit: I'm just interested in seeing now how many people Trump begins to annoy when he appoints Thiel from the pond/swamp.
