Despite the globalised nature of aviation supply chains, expect to see the nearly all the C919s operate within the Chinese market (with most of the rest being developing countries in Asia). The real difference is decades of experience, development, reputation and global maintenance programme setup behind the Boeing/Airbus series, and most operators looking to acquire new aircraft won't overlook that in favour of slightly lower capital costs without a lot of encouragement and support network that's very close to their home base.
The WTO was created to prevent these shenanigans. Europe and US play ball, mostly. EU/NAFTA/CETA/TTIP all part of that leveling of the playing field.

China does not play ball, at all. Literally don't give a shit about the Wests opinions or approaches to deals. Perceived in the West as cheating, but that is just a cultural viewpoint.
Easily caught and heavily fined. (Not to mention loss of PR.)
> It amazes me that VCs find this type of business interesting

There are a lot of companies out there that aren't run of the mill tech companies but are still able to massage their way into that category (another example is We Work). There is so much money chasing outsized returns that companies/founder with a good plan, strong team, large enough addressable market and the right network are close enough for many VCs.
Hell, I'd be happy if I could buy a dumb stove.

After a recent experience: that's simply not possible. Every damned kitchen stove on the market has electronics in it (failure-on-delivery of which in multiple instances spurred on the search), and increasingly: Bluetooth or Wifi capabilities.

Ironically, one thing the new stove improves on over its predecessor is that there's far less electronics hum coming from it. Though several appliances still emite some high-pitched, and ultrasonic (I'm sensitive to that) noise.

Yes, because like I said: marketing. "Protein Shakes" are a bigger/more popular niche than "Meal Replacements", so naturally a lot of products are gonna double dip and try to claim belonging to both categories. But that's irrelevant because what matters is the actual nutritional​ composition of these products.

Soylent has 20g of protein per serving, and most of the products listed above are also in that 15-30g of protein range and share most of the same micronutrients, so functionally they're about equivalent. The only real differences between all these products are marketing, price, taste, "recommended" serving sizes, and small tweaks in nutrient ratios. Other than that, they're all pretty interchangeable.
In history everytime a high wages became a problem it was solved through tecnology (mecanization/automation) or by adding more workers (slavery/immigration/outsourcing).

I don't see any reason todays America would be any different.
I don't mean "charity" in a demeaning way. If you operate a business, and a business is really anything that engages in trade but is not a real person, and that businesses purpose is not solely the optimization of profits, then it is, at least in part, a "charity".

There's nothing wrong with that. I'm just saying that a monopoly that is not maximising its profits acts in a charitable way. Either by choice or by force. Kinda irrelevant.

>> I'm not sure how much we can trust our own guts when it comes to seeking out nutritious foods;

Right. Our appetite is adapted for pre-industrial times, when craving sweet berries while they are in season would be a good thing. We're not equipped to handle constant availability of sugared and MSG-laden processed foods that are actually designed to defeat natural satiety mechanisms.

I would be cautious of demonizing fats; unprocessed fats haven't been shown to do much harm. In recent years, even Harvard Med School has backed off of low-fat recommendations, instead saying trans-fats ought to be avoided.
https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/what-should-you...

There's one way in which our appetites do point in the right direction: veggies are tastier and more appetizing when paired with butter or sauce, which also make it possible to absorb fat-soluble vitamins from the veggies.
Good points - I retract my previous idea. Thanks for the comments.
What does irk me though is all the "channels" with "free" apps that you have to verify your cable sub for... I mean, aren't they still going to show the ads anyway?

The top and mid tier cable channels make much of their money off of carriage fees with the cable companies. If they offered their content free over the internet, the cable companies could just stop paying it and offer all of the customers a Roku box, a custom app for the channels they wanted to carry and let customers stream the other content for free.

>"eat what your grand-grand parents ate"

Not possible, unfortunately. Meat and vegetables are so totally different now. For example meats are raised on GM corn and antibiotics, altering their balance of omega 3's, impact on gut health, and other things. While today's vegetables are massively decremented in micronutrients- and may have less arsenic-based pesticide residue than your greatgrandparents', but more of other pesticides.

It's pretty obvious in the context of this story. You can recover your Google password if you have access to SMS on that number and can answer the "security" question.
It's clickbaity because you have to click to find out if their opinion is highly positive or negative. It sounds like it's going to be answered by "... terrible" or "... great!", and that it's phrased that way to make you click and find out.

Granted, once you click you find out that's not why it's titled that, but you still feel baited into clicking to find out. A better title would be something like "I tried Haskell for 5 years and here's the good and the bad", or something like that.

Coffee shops are great place to do admin work or any work that doesn't demand a lot of attention but tends to be boring. I find that I have an easier time focusing on such work in a coffee shop than at home.

On the other hand, I have a lot more difficulties concentrating on work in an open-space office mostly because the discussions around me would then tend to be related to my work so I can't just completely tune them out.
To me, that fact used to seem simply protectionism, but honestly it's very reasonable.

Google and Facebook in particular are a security agencies dream - people volunteering to share messages, location, what they're reading, who they're friends with, etc - that a rational country would be afraid of from even friendly nations.

This is the same alarmist outcry that happened in the 90s... "India has a billion people who are educated and cheaper! Outsourcing will kill all the tech jobs!"

I think the thing that folks keep missing is that technology isn't a zero sum game. So what if there are a shitload of people in the east doing programming cheaper? 9/10 of the 'type' of programming they're doing is grunt work that no one really wants to do anyway.

Will some people feel the 'crunch' from this? probably, in the short term. But technical acumen doesn't sit still. We're not all languishing on our laurels with technology from the 90s while the Chinese are gearing up for total war.

A much BIGGER problem, IMO, is our social policies tending towards overt xenophobia. THAT is what will kill the US and the Western European countries if we don't get off of this nationalist bandwagon that we find ourselves on.
I think there is nothing more than perception, movement, memory, attention, problem solving and a few other functions that work together. Humans are basically reinforcement learning agents optimizing for actions that maximize rewards.
Well in the end modern smartphones are just general purpose computers which have some artificial restrictions on what you can do with them and happen to have a touchscreen/modem/speaker/microphone etc.

> 1. There is a learning curve.

Time and experience can cover up anything. So this does not say much about Haskell other than it is all negative without time and experience.

> 2. Haskell has some very nice libraries

So does NodeJS and (on an abstract level) Microsoft Word. Libraries are infrastructures and investments that (like time and experience) can cover up any shortcomings.

> 3. Haskell libraries are sometimes hard to figure out

That is simply negative, right?

> 4. Haskell sometimes feels like C++

That is also negative, right?

That is a general description of specialty -- unless he means all hard are easy.

So what am I missing? Or rather, what is the article missing? (I knew nothing about Kotlin before this article)

I mean, I wouldn't agree with the classification of any of those languages as the syntactic sugar of whatever. C is portable ASM, which is a big deal. C++ is object oriented C, which is a different paradigm and feels a lot more salty than C because of the increased complexity. Java was rather ambitious (safe to say overly so) and brought with it a lot of differences with C++ that were not just syntax (which is definitely sweeter).

What does Kotlin give me besides less verbose syntax and some nice compile time null checking?
>Best thing to do imo is hoard and deploy money to investments

> American labor was fucked anyways, Globalism only accelerated trends that would have happened anyhow.

Globalism didn't "accelerate" trends that would have happened anyhow, it created those trends. American labor is fucked because of globalism.

You might argue the standard of living might have ended up the same under protectionist policies (e.g. poor because of high prices rather than low wages), but I doubt we'd see the same level of inequality under protectionism.
Lessons Learned from Facebook's Split Network Backbone
You don't actually give any reasons.

Why do you find it unreasonable that entanglement would be involved with integrating signals from disparate regions or several neurons?

The problem is how we integrate the signals from many regions in to whatever is generating the single perception (or perhaps several parallel perceptions -- I don't know that there aren't other experiences coincident with mine, just that I have access to one of them).

Unless you're postulating that a single neuron at a time is responsible for my subjective experience, then you do need to explain how several neurons are generating a single signal.

My experience with cognitive scientists is that they simply punt on the problem, completely failing to address how the signal is amalgamated in to a single stream of experience even as they talk about what regions contribute features of it.
Common problem. Software is trapped inside CPU and memory too. Don't know if bare software ever touched face of the world.

I hate this argument. Usually people are talking about synthetic or non-naturally occurring compounds ancillary to the reason for eating the food.

Simple solution. Make medical records privacy opt-in.

Most people won't bother (strong default effect), so lots of data for research, and those who care can still can have their privacy. It won't exactly be a random sample, but it should still be better than what's available currently.
True enough, but this wasn't in the context of taxes - it was about avoiding getting ripped of by paying cash then having an entity claim you never paid them. Receipts are still good for this - signed receipts even better.

They will either come back when enough of the world reaches US middle class status (and thus it becomes cheaper to produce here than abroad) or disappear entirely when automated out of existence. Either way, it makes no sense to pretend that they're likely to come back. It's like spending every paycheck on lottery tickets.

The Soviets copied the B-29 and ... what else? The DC-3 was made under license so hardly counts as copying.

Many of their aircraft had similar configurations to Western equivalents but different design aspects. Just like 707 and DC-8 in the West.

On the other hand China literally copied Soviet types after the Sino-Soviet split. Tu-26, MiG-21, An-24, An-12 were all reversed engineered without tooling.
> The same is not true of Haskell. If you have never looked at Haskell code, you may have difficulty following even simple functions.

Why is it that people talk about this almost as if it's done virtue of the language? As if the fact that's it's so inscrutable proves that it's valuable, different, and on a higher plane of computing.
There is sadly a huge amount of Fortran code bases in science. Not old. Not left over libraries. Not software written for a bygone age.

No... New software. Huge, mission critical, core project, software.

The best part: No documentation, no maintainer, and no migration plan.

Scientists think in terms of how Units of Science per Units of Work. Translating code, learning new languages, testing, checking correctness, software validation, bug testing, or even just using external (non-science) libraries yield a very low science/work ratio.

Just opening a text editor, writing a language you already know, and calling it "good enough" is high science/work.

Their method of software validation usually boils down to "spit out your data, graph it, and see if it looks like what you expect".

There's also this notion that "Fortran is fast" that MANY people hold for some reason. They don't know about what kinds of modern compiler optimizations they're missing out on and what new IPC frameworks are available. They know Fortran is fast, MPI is parallel, and that's what they use.

Right now I'm looking at a codebase that is actively being developed and is written in Fortran. It's about 48,466 lines in total. The source is about 2.3M in size. No one seems to have formula listings for it. I want to rewrite it but pulling apart fortran is very difficult.

It's very scary that if I were to write the software in C that it would be seen as modern! This software is tax-payer funded and included in real time systems and production software.

(On that note if anyone is good at Fortran and can document the formulas in this software so I can rewrite them I'd be happy! Please email me)
I feel the same way. I think the Author was trying to give an honest opinion on the pitfalls. Would have been nice to hear about the honest benefits too.

All the mammals have roughly the same brain architecture and the same DNA. Whatever makes brains work is present at the mouse level in some form. We really ought to be able to build a mouse brain by now. A mouse brain has about 75 million neurons. That's not a big number for modern hardware. If we knew what to build, it would probably fit in a 1U rack.

Some years ago I met Rodney Brooks, back when he was doing insect robots. He was talking about a jump to human-level AI as his next project. I asked him, "Why not go for a mouse next? That might be within reach." He said "I don't want to go down in history as the man who created the world's greatest robot mouse." He went off to do Cog [1], a humanlike robot head that didn't do much. Then he backed off from human-level AI, did vacuum cleaners with insect-level smarts, and made some real money.

Question to the Haskell experts here.

Is Haskell more academic in nature or used heavily in Production environments?

Is there an application sweet spot/domain (say Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning, etc) where it shines over using other languages (I am not talking about software/language architectural issues like type systems or such)?

I have no experience with Haskell but do use functional languages such as Erlang/Elixir on and off.
Also possible that we judge each other because medical privacy gives us a false impression of the world. Or because privacy allows people living in glass houses to throw stones.
