Interesting question. We will never know the other way since the government in china controls the film industry, all films must get pre-plot approval. Whether pro government films positively affect perception, i would guess that it works for a certain segment of the mass population (a silent majority in Reagan's terms) but not really the middle class.

The existence of dissatisfaction with the American government probably drives production of subversive films, rather than the other way around. People are usually predisposed to media that fits their views, not the other way around.
Appeal to authority is only deductively invalid, not inductively invalid.
Japan is 98% Japanese - that comparison doesn't even make sense.

>Perhaps they just couldn't find an actor that looked the role?

Of course they could, but the problem is it seems as if they wouldn't dare try. They stopped looking after "the one hot female lead we put in every sci-fi movie now."
They said themselves that PowerShell is not a replacement for Cmd...

Note that Rust is stable now. IDE tooling and stuff isn't there yet (soon?!), and there are other reasons why you may not use Rust, but it is stable.

After 1.0 the Rust releases have been stable, with the stability checked against the entire ecosystem on crates.io. https://blog.rust-lang.org/2014/10/30/Stability.html
I'm in the same boat. The email was garbage, too:

We’re always looking to improve the Dropbox sharing experience. The Public folder was the first sharing method we introduced, and since then, we’ve built even better ways for you to share securely and work together with your team.

As a result, we’ll soon be ending support for the Public folder. Dropbox Pro users will be able to use the Public folder until September 1, 2017. After that date the files in your Public folder will become private, and links to these files will be deactivated. Your files will remain safe in Dropbox.

If you’d like to keep sharing files in your Public folder, you can create new shared links. Just make sure to send the new URLs to your collaborators.

Double-speaking crap. They've broken literally thousands of links I've posted around the Internet since I started using Dropbox. I pay for Dropbox Pro specifically to have more space in my Public folder. And they chose to be pretty jerkish about it, to boot. Gross.
> "China bashing" is simply a euphemism for being critical on china

I understand it as being overly or gratuitously critical of China but of course, it's hard to define objectively. Personally, I feel like most American media is biased against China but I hold a relatively positive view of China.
I just signed up for the beta. Looks interesting.

It did have to do a double-take as it looks to be part of Medium, which just shut down two major offices and laid off a bunch of people today.

Death of a President was screened in the US. It depicts a fictional assassination of the then-sitting US President. There wasn't even a whiff of illegality around it, even if the big chains refused to screen it, it wasn't for fear of prosecution.

The article mentions that. Every change, no matter how trivial, in cmd breaks some behavior that someone is depending on, or at least it feels that way. Even fixing bugs tends to break large number of scripts in the wild.

I'd like to see a 'bacmd' or something where they could break some history without fear, but clearly MS has decided to focus their resources on a very different way of thinking for their new shell.
The headline reads: "the costs outweigh the benefits."

It's a boring tautology. Arcade games require "clever" (read: not generalizable) solutions to optimize for speed in decision making.

"Learning" AI requires the broadest feasible search space for any solution and successful designs require clusters of machines. Clusters of machines have network latency and coordination overhead.

This is the same latency vs throughput design decision that every system must make, and its not impressive when a throughout oriented system struggles with being latency sensitive.

China does not make films that American consumers would want to consume. The best Chinese movies last year were mermaid and monster hunt...I saw both (bored on an air china flight), they were both absolutely awful.

There was a time in the late 90s when the golden Beijing Institute of Film class (the first one after the cultural revolution) was producing wonderful art house films that DID get viewership abroad. Sadly, this ended with increasing control of the gov over the film industry, and even the Taiwanese and Honk Kong films that we once enjoyed have disappeared to an industry that is now largely catering to the mainland market.

The future of the chinese film industry is more Warcraft and less "eat, drink man woman" (a Taiwan film) or "farewell my concubine" (I think the latter one was banned in the mainland), there is nothing there for us.

Well yeah I think bigger storage is better but I do think people can make do with the 32gb. I think that Apple and others need to up the ante with storage space.

Ask HN: What dev stack should I learn for making scoring apps for weird sports?
I made an app for my polo league for scoring tournaments. http://www.sh2.radarhill.net/XpeariMints/swiss-rounds/tournaments You can read about it here - http://rocketships.ca/blog/recursing-for-bike-polo/ - where I explain why I needed to build this in the first place, and some of the struggles I worked through.

Tl;dr: we wanted to maximize play time and fun factor for all teams, including the weaker ones, in a field where the skill level ranges from professional to absolute newbie, while still ensuring the the strongest team wins. No existing solution was quite right, so I built it myself.

It’s built on CakePHP. This did the trick, but the only reason I used Cake is because it’s the only toolset I know well and I needed to just get on with building the damn thing. Now that it’s done, I’m thinking about what I can do differently next time. It there might be other opportunities like this in the future, since this is the second time I’ve been asked to build a scoring application for a weird sport. Last time it was drift racing. I used Java and the Swing library, and I didn’t succeed. Picture the longest main() function you’ve ever seen….

Cake is better (and so am I, now), but it needs a web browser and connection to a server to run. The tournament takes place at an outdoor hockey rink and there’s not even electricity, let alone wifi. I got it to work locally off a USB drive on my buddy’s laptop, but there’s this process of firing up XAMPP, making sure apache and mysql are running, and navigating to localhost/app-directory/complicated-url in the browser. It’s not a tidy desktop application with a launcher shortcut like it should be. Plus, there’s all this Cake infrastructure that isn’t really needed, and a tremendous number of database calls that make it run more slowly than it should, considering that it’s just simple text and not that much of it.

What would you have used to build this? My first thought was VB, but I work from a Mac so perhaps not.
Slack: used it at a hackathon and found it better than Facebook or Skype or whatever groups use to organize; happy that the club I joined recently as an officer is using it for communication

Uber & Lyft: haven't used it personally because public transportation is cheaper and I can wait, even though they were giving out free credit on my campus; I think carsharing is here to stay, especially if selfdriving cars become mainstream.

AirBnB: surprisingly cheap, found a $200 a night place in downtown LA for 6 people; I enjoy the concept of people sharing their homes and introducing tourists to local culture; however, some regulation is needed to protect both homeowners (from issues like squatting), customers, and renters -- no home should be used for the sole intent of renting to AirBnB and acting as a hotel.

Dropbox: I only use Google Drice so I can't say.

GitHub: hasn't this company been around long enough so that it isn't just hype -- anyhow they should find a way to stop burning so much money.

Stripe: I've heard their API is easier to use than competitors, and it seems they launched Atlas this year to diversify themselves from process payments to include business incorporation.
Strangely, we dont get to see as many of the cheaper chromebook laptops in a country like India where taxes are such a huge part of a laptop price. A macbook or a thinkpad are out of reach for most people here.
Knot Wednesday – THE SPANISH BOWLINE
The bandwagoning is disproportionately on the side of those leaning towards big frameworks. Look, I've been on the inside of large companies making framework choices and rarely is the decision rational. Often it's based on what's popular and based on the assumption that popular things are popular for good reasons. Biased metrics get thrown around to justify preconceived notions, and off to the races we go. Years later, everyone sees the old stack as "old and outdated" and a strong desire to throw it all away and rewrite it with the new hotness takes hold. Then the entire irrational process repeats itself.

I'm not saying the big trendy thick client JS frameworks are the wrong tool for every job. But in my experience they do seem to be the wrong tool for an alarming number of jobs they are presently being used for. And I'm not just spitting rhetoric here. I'm more than happy to put my money where my mouth is. If you want to know specifically when I think a big thick client JS framework might be the right tool for the job and when it probably isn't, this article does a good job of outlining that: https://www.sitepoint.com/javascript-dependency-backlash-myt...

As for the tradeoff associated with developer productivity vs. performance, there is some validity to that. However, I think people overestimate the developer productivity gains the frameworks offer. You only get productivity gains if your whole team is already fully trained on the framework. And in addition to the performance tradeoffs, you also risk your codebase having a shorter lifespan because the framework may make breaking changes to its API some day (e.g. Angular 1 -> Angular 2), whereas a vanilla JS implementation that relies on smaller, single purpose JS libraries will age considerably better.
The whole business may have changed quite much over there years. Back in the days you had your own people driving around, know you can crowd source quite much of the data collection. When you have the location data for millions of people, you can for example figure out where the roads go, make good guesses about speed limits and figure out one way streets. Points of interest can be mined from web. From search logs you can probably see if you are missing some addresses.
I really have no problem with that...I find these movies pretty boring myself. But the fact that a Chinese film maker cannot make a movie about china with critical social commentary is a huge problem for China's social development.

Well, let's put it another way. At 50 GWh, I believe the Gigafactory will be producing at least 2.5 billion individual batteries annually.

If you divide that by 6,500 employees supporting the manufacturing, it comes to about 385,000 batteries produced per employee per year.

Yes they are. Yet they present a diverse universe of characters whose ethnicities are clearly not Japanese or are very ambiguous.

Note that for this reason, there was no controversy about the casting of the GIS protagonist in Japan itself. The vocal critics have all been Asian Americans. But that doesn't really say much, as this movie is being judged as an American one rather than a Japanese one; the lack of Asian American actors getting roles like these bothers me also.

I'm curious about what "stable" means to rust advocates, because it doesn't mean the same thing to the rest of us. I frequently see rust pushers debating this point with people as well.

If your standard library isn't finished, it's very misleading to say rust is stable.

> It also has no scarcity since it can face competition by an infinite number of similar conceivable algorithms / block-chains / virtual currencies that offer much the same features, regardless of how hard its own mining gets.

I don't get this argument. Competing cryptocurrencies won't be spendable on the Bitcoin block chain and vice versa, so Bitcoin's scarcity isn't compromised. It's true that Bitcoin could face competition from other cryptocurrencies, but that's not exactly an inherent deal breaker. People need to use a cryptocurrency for it to be of much use.

The "AAA" mobile titles and the older PC ports take a lot of space, Xcom takes like 4GB, Shadow Run takes 2-3 GB, GTA takes like 2-3 GB also...
Even on my Motorola Droid the first "AAA" 3D mobile games would download 1-2GB of assets.
A movie from Netflix / Google Play can be 4-6 GB also since it's 2-3GB per hour.

If you have a Marshmallow device today with an SD card you can lock the SD card to that device, format it in EXT4 and encrypt it and then never really remove it and apps can be installed on it (usually), if you still running an older version of Android you have to root the device and pray that the app doesn't do root detection format the SDcard in EXT4 and mount it in /DATA (?) and even then you might have issues since the SD card reader on many devices can be quite slow.

If Samsung wants to sell 500$ devices with 32GB it's their choice, but why not offer models with more storage? Why all the chinese phones can come with 64GB as a base for 300-400$ but Apple and Samsung still offer 32GB for flagship devices that cost twice as much?

And more importantly why are people OK with it? seriously "X is more than enough" when in fact it isn't is not an excuse, the fact that you can get by with 32GB doesn't mean you should, your use cases fit your storage

As the other response said, you're confusing revenue with earnings.

Very few companies have a revenue multiple of 13x. Looking at this chart https://blog.intercom.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/4-forwa... it looks like Dropbox can expect something in the 6x-10x range, valuing them at $4.5-7.5B.
That's what libcore is; you still get a lot of the useful bits.

Most of the rest of libstd requires a known OS abstraction to exist.

Most of the algorithmy stuff (e.g. regex) has been moved out of the stdlib so you can pull it in separately if the crate supports no_std.

Not perfect, and a lot more crates could support no_std, but it's sometimes good enough.
