Depends. China have a lot of quality production. But they are producing cheap and crappy because that is what the world buys. They have the means to produce at whatever part of the price/quality curve you want.
That's a great shame. I've also been through this with Wikipedia, so I have to agree unfortunately.
I was pleasantly surprised at the subtle humour in this article, although some of it does require a bit of insider knowledge to fully appreciate!
According to this:

* http://aviationweek.com/awin/c919-may-be-largely-limited-chi...

... that is a bit misleading. The C919 is not pursuing FAA certification directly. Instead an attempt is being made to have the Chinese certification be recognized by the FAA. The article points out that in 2013 that process was not going well.

Also from the article:

>There is no suggestion the CAAC would be soft on Comac; on the contrary, it is repeatedly reported that the Chinese authority is tougher than the FAA.

So chances are that there are no serious gotchas here and that this will all come down to paperwork.
That looks exactly like what I was envisioning. Thank you so much!
I was just about to say that CrashPlan is restricted to the internal drive of a computer & is therefore limited to the maximum size of hard drives (e.g. 1-2 Terabytes for laptops), but apparently CrashPlan lets you backup external drives now too:

The line about lacking an FAA certification is odd. This aircraft couldn't possibly have an FAA certification yet, it hasn't even had its first test flight.

They have a basic certification from the Civil Aviation Authority of China (CAAC) which will allow them to conduct test flights and similar.

They are partnering with Ryanair (mostly inter-europe flights) and even Airbus expects them to compete outside of China by 2020.

As to quality question: China produces both high AND low quality even if they're "known" for low quality. For example that iPhone in your pocket: China. Many chip fabricators: China. High end batteries: China. Etc. If china needs high quality, they will attain it.

There's no specific reason, aside from time, why China cannot be a legitimate competitor for international aircraft.
So from 1979 - 1999 mortality rates fell an average of 2% but have risen half a percent per year since then. If I had to guess it could be that the pressures of stagnant incomes, skyrocketing higher health care costs, and more volatile economic conditions could be a bit of a pressure cooker for stress, poor diets, and increased alcohol/drug use.
There have been several projects closing the source of their software due to the competitors-stealing-their-code angle. All of those projects I know of are dead, because in most cases what makes them interesting is the open-source nature.
How many more articles about static sites being the "Next Big Thing" before they just become "The Big Thing"?
> Companies like Activision are too big to innovate and they know it.

Apple is far larger than Activision and are basically the kings of innovation.
There are two big issues I see:

1) trust problems between the seller and the buyer. either the seller needs to trust that the buyer will deliver a working exploit or the seller will give the chance for the buyer to evaluate and the seller then needs to trust that the buyer won't steal the vulnerability.

2) issues of access. sellers don't know how to get in touch with buyers.

Also, some buyers may want to purchase an exploit library instead of negotiating for each sale and middleman can offer value here.

Also it is possible zerodium offered over the market value (or over what the usually pay) in this situation in order to generate publicity. Other companies that buy vulnerabilities have offered larger one off bounties in the past.
Most of the static site generators have serious usability problems. They are simply not usable for many users using WordPress today.
Their incentives are to burn the dead crops to maximize profit. There is not a system of property rights and a government willing to enforce them to prevent them from burning. I kind of doubt it's even a Coasean outcome given that it's causing quite a lot of damage to the air quality in Singapore and neighboring countries where they might be willing to pay them not to burn, but somehow that solution doesn't work (neutral enforcers of the agreement is obviously one difficult issue, and nobody is willing to go to war over it).

My in-laws live in Kuala Lumpur, and are really struggling with the smoke; they're already not in the best of health. Next month we're going to basically evacuate my wife's parents and bring them to stay out of the smoke for a few weeks in Cambodia, and try to get some kind of air filtration in place in their house.

It's an awful situation. We're also flying into this mess with two small children; I guess we'll bring masks and protect them as much as possible. We're far less affected than all of the people staying there all the time, of course.

It's a hard problem to fight; it seems obviously a legal issue first... this shouldn't be allowed. But the Indonesian govt isn't handling it; so... critique them? Replace them? It seems like a choice between useless and ridiculous. Is there any really useful response here?

Or focus on the companies benefiting from it, e.g., http://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/environment/ntuc-fairp...

Boycott palm oil (but it's in everything); ask the massive corporations downstream to be more responsible about the raw materials they purchase... how big of a boycott does this need to be, how loud/public a demand, before they'll make serious changes, not just gestures?

I do think we'll see some positive response, in fits & starts, but it's a depressing situation at the moment.

As there is a current high profile story illustrating the issue of the effect of social media on teen, here are some of the requested citation: http://www.letsbegamechangers.com/ and www.zmonline.com/photos/zm-photos/instagram-celeb-reveals-the-ugly-reality-behind-her-social-media-presence/

> You seem to believe that "Facebook network" and "real life network" are distinct networks. They're not.
Extraordinary claims requires extraordinary evidence. Having a look in a teen's facebook versus his/her real life should be enough to see by yourself the reality is not what you claim. But I'll rather introduce you to Robin Dunbar and the Dunbar Number: "orry, Facebook friends: Our brains can't keep up["1] and "The Limits of Friendship"[2]

> In most discussions, people actually bring up only the side from your counter, completely forgetting about the one I wanted to remind OP about.

And there is a reason for that, which is simply that facebook added an artificial barrier between people as tool to force people to register to facebook. The wall of the so called walled garden.

> Part of the problem of social engineering is that people treat "public but sensitive data" as anything but public.

Ok, it seems I have failed to express myself correctly and my simple and innocent example failed to get through. Allow me to reformulate:
- A birth date is personal data, for it is indeed related to a specific person.
-Personal data is sensitive data.
- That's it, there's nothing more to it.

I suppose you live in a place and time too far away from the last attempt at rounding people for mass killing and attempted extermination to remember how important and sensitive personal data is.

I guess those who fail to remember history are doomed to relive it.

Not to my knowledge. It's not an idle question, though -- the suggestion that physical constants might have changed over time arose not arbitrarily, but as a result of work in theoretical physics (Dirac's large number hypothesis, as well as a number of models that predict non-constant constants).

Remember that just over a hundred years ago one might equally well have asked "in the history of science, how many things have been shown to have constant velocity in all reference frames?"

Toyota was fined $1.2b in 2014 for deliberately concealing safety defects - something that was linked to actual deaths. It was the biggest fine ever handed down to a car maker by US courts.

I don't see how $5.2b is justifiable in this case.

Every time static generation rears its head, I'm reminded of Yahoo!'s ... unique... take.

Back in 2006 when I worked for Yahoo!, and they had a CMS / template management system called Jake that statically generated templates for the PHP-based frontend servers to evaluate at request time. The idea was that you put as much of your logic as possible into the template generation layer, leaving the request-time logic to handle the stuff that changed request by request.

Now, that all sounds quite reasonable, but the two layers were written in different languages. The pre-template-generation logic was written as inline Perl (plus a little custom syntax, because why not), while the dynamic frontend logic was written in PHP. Perl was frequently used to generate chunks of PHP code to be executed by the frontend servers, and sometimes this PHP code wrote chunks of inline JavaScript. To say that debugging said JS was fun would be an understatement.
But on hardware for which the hash function implementation is optimized, you will be able to crank up the cost factors higher than on comparable hardware for which no optimization was done. So a different hash with an implementation optimized more for ARM could give more protection than Argon2 on ARM because you would be able to use higher cost factors while still using the same amount of wall clock time. But I don't think such a hash function exists, and if not you could as well create a more ARM optimized implementation of Argon2.

Doesn't change that fact that the company factors the cost of advertising in their product price that the consumer pays regardless of the ads being seen or not.

Only way not to pay for ads is to buy product sold by a company that does not advertise. Good luck with that.

I host my company's web site on AWS Cloudfront using my homemade static website publisher which minifies my JavaScript's ,css and html and gzips them before pushing to Cloudfront . The pages load fast but the downside is making changes to page like fixing typos is not as simple but that probably an issue with my generatorvas well as Cloudfront cache configuration. I don't use Jekyll or Hyde or other static publishers because I wanted to write one in clojure and I figured I could write one in clojure faster than what it would take me to learn jekyll etc.

"cruelty-free materials"

Well, the materials are not cruel. Its humans treating the animals. That's no reason not to wear these materials. It's a reason to find the right suppliers.

Certainly a good point.

Another issue is cheap cotton. Especially the dying process can be really dirty. If done in underdeveloped countries, by children - now THIS can be cruel.
MovableType was a self-hosted static site generator. Blogger too, although not self-hosted.
what are stagefright bugs?
I once worked as a telephone switchboard operator. I used a text user interface based system, with a monochrome green CRT and a high quality keyboard with dedicated keys for all the interface functions. The 80x24 text was clear and easy to read. Everything was extremely fast and reliable, with no perceptible interface pauses ever.

I later briefly worked there again after they had "upgraded" to a modern system. This ran a GUI on Windows on commodity hardware. The text was smaller and harder to read (on an early LCD monitor). Not all functions had keyboard shortcuts, and the keyboard itself felt worse. The interface noticeably paused sometimes.

The new system was an obvious downgrade, and the build quality of the old one was high enough that I'd expect it to have at least another 10 years of life. I can only guess that management saw the green CRT, assumed it was unacceptably primitive, and didn't bother asking the people who actually used it.
Faster 64-bit universal hashing using carry-less multiplications
Though I'm still on the fence about the validity of the comparison, an argument that I've seen online regarding these stats is that it echoes similar trends in addiction and suicide that manifested in post-USSR Russia, which were arguably driven by an increase in general despair and decline in quality of life. Here's an interesting qualitative description of the phenomenon: http://www.nybooks.com/blogs/nyrblog/2014/sep/02/dying-russi...

Now, back to the contemporary statistics: the correlation between increased mortality and socioeconomic groups 'hardest-hit' by recent economic concerns (globalization, the recession, and income inequality) seems quite clear, but I'm wondering if the correlation with mortality associated with drug poisoning would hold true if the same information were collected about a country with a less dysfunctional approach to narcotics and addiction management. I have a hunch that it wouldn't.

Yes, the GPLv3 is a powerful tool, but it doesn't completely eliminate the need to control when and how source code becomes open.

In practice, GPLv3 may only offer hope that one could some day prevent violations after the time and expense of litigation. VMWare and Tivo are examples.

Consider Google Android, which releases sources with binaries when the release occurs, not before. Balancing the how and when is just as important as the license.

Gnu Ghostscript was an example for many years. They used a dual license and released source to the public six months after binaries.
The reason I like static site generators so much is because it allows me to treat my website as a program that outputs a website. Take some posts in whichever format you prefer, write a program to parse them as a tree of HTML nodes, insert them into templates for HTML pages, Atom feeds, etc. It's all just plain text code and markup, no stateful database with a dynamic web application in front doing everything.

You seem to show contempt for people preferring open-source platforms. Well, I for one refuse to build on top of proprietary platforms, because there have been countless of examples of people getting burned. One way people get burned is because of bait and switch strategies, often employed by companies (especially startups) in order to attract interest and grow their product in popularity and then breaking their original promise. Or sometimes the company gets acquired in an acquihire and the product simply vanishes. One famous and recent example is FoundationDB - I'm pretty sure that the people that invested time and resources in FoundationDB are sorry for doing it.

I also don't see how the "freetards" killed RoboVM, but you seem to agree with me that RoboVM is dead.
> "that is not capitalism, its exploitation"

Let's put it like this. Imagine the Indonesian government didn't exist. What would the people be able to do to stop the environmental destruction? Would you advocate vigilante justice?
Yeah could be that, but think stress.

We started the millennium with a stock market crash, 9/11, the Concord crashed, the Space Shuttle broke up on reentry, two wars kicked off and just when things started calming down... the Great Recession. If you weren't laid off then you probably knew a few people that were. It seemed like everything we had built over the past two decades was failing us all at once.

The 90's seemed like a time when you just watched Seinfeld on Thursday nights and watched your stocks go up in value. The 2000's and on have been a bit more stressful.
