The style is not novel either.

Of Galewood itself? Yeah, no, though it's across the street from one of the most famous architectural areas in Chicagoland. But the posters? They're deliberately an homage to WPA style.

South Shore Line ones, too…which may have also been WPA style. I should look that up…

Insider trading is incredibly toxic to society. It is not a victimless crime. It is tantamount to stealing.

It is, I agree. My point is that the proportionality of consequences is not there. We seem to be good at criminalizing discrete, individual financial acts, but not systemic corporate decisions that cause diffuse harm. That's even when the aggregate harm is arguably far greater.

> The harsh truth is that Deno’s offerings have failed to capture developers’ attention. I can’t pretend to know why — I was a fanboy myself — but far too few devs care about Deno.

I never heard of Deno until today. So perhaps this was a marketing failure.


> High profile companies like those listed in the image above

Never heard of any of them except Loveable.


The world has shown that it doesn't need all those intricate design patterns that java fosters.

It does seem like java missed their chance, it's a shame.


No, this is notoriously difficult. The earth is vast and a carrier is tiny in comparison.

Difficult 40 years ago maybe.

I can't imagine with the satellite image and compute we have it would be difficult at all to know the real_time +- 30min location of any carrier by maybe the top 5-10 states, even at night.


Commercial satellites can get 30cm resolution images (military satellites can likely get even more high resolution).

The earth is vast, but once you pinpoint a carrier, a simple software loop should be able to track it for ever (those carrier do not move fast).

I cannot imagine this being remotely difficult for a state to have a constant pin on every large carriers sailing on earth. There even might be some civilian apps for that too.

But again, Strava and other connected + geolocation apps have been an issue for military personnel in general.


it plays "God Save the King"

My guess would be some very influential NGO(s). But I haven't looked into it or thought about it.
