I was trying to notify readers that the description is rather inaccurate; The HN title claims “Bourne-style shell”, and the article claims “shell in the style of the Bourne shell, Bash, zsh, etc.”, but a working shell actually requires TTY and signal handling; they’re not really optional features.

Sure, if all you’re doing is implementing a program with a command line interface like ftp(1), kermit(1), sftp(1), etc. that do not run arbitrary subprocesses, and do not need to handle being arbitrarily interrupted, then sure, implement away. I would suggest the Python “cmd” library as a good way to get started quickly. But for a login shell, used to run other programs, there are more complex considerations.

AMD wasn't able to match Intel's volume because Intel engaged in outright bribery of PC and server vendors on a impressively massive scale (they literally paid out hundreds of millions per year — and that's just to one vendor — as an incentive not to buy AMD). Other factors obviously didn't help, but this was clearly a huge one.

Given they've been slapped down for this, I wonder if they'll try it again. If they don't, AMD could have an easier go this time round.

I remember being in my early teens and spearfishing for rascasse in La Ciotat (some 30km from Marseille). Brings back good memories.

Anyway, it's strange that the article makes only a passing mention to the "poissons de roche" (lit. fishes from the rocks), which are an assortment of various species that live among the rocks, such as wrasses and blennies, as opposed to those that live in sandy areas. With these fish you make the base of the Bouillabaisse, and to my knowledge these are also endemic to the Mediterranean.

My grandmother would have to buy these fish fresh from the local fishermen as they are caught with nets, being way too small for spearfishing. To these which she would add my rascasses to make the Bouillabaisse.
Having a solution to the problem and having people advocate for implementing that solution in their companies are too different things.

We know about lots of best practices but if no one is advocating for them at their companies those practices we'll just be shining cities on a hill that we look to from a deep, dark valley.
Put fines for the suppliers in the contract that they have to pay for each violation of contract, ban them from the platform and be public about it. There should also be rules about not handing out direct contact info to the client, only marketplace-supplied business cards.

They will try to be clever about it, but sooner or later it will come out. Often the users don't even they did it and accidentally blow their cover. You can also make test appointments with someone who will report back to you about attempted rule violations, once you have suspicions.

You can also counteract the leakage by setting up analytics about "unusual" canceling customers, which you will then manually contact (which should be part of your anti-churn strategy anyway). E.g. it could be somewhat suspicious that customers stop booking on your platform after they booked a specific supplier once. This is actually a pretty good use-case for ML.

On the more "positive" side, you can try to build a hard to replicate tech solution that helps their workflow but is also so deeply ingrained that circumventing the system becomes more of a hassle.

You will never get to 0% leakage, but there are a few techniques to get close.

There's a strong argument that the wage stagnation in the middle and lower classes in the US is slowing down the economy across the board.

In fact, I wonder if the increasing concentration of profits in a handful of companies is contributing to the inability of companies further down the food chain to pay workers market rates.

People might have a misconception about the machine then. I had heard that the juice was easy enough to extract from the pack that you could do it with your hands. This gave me the idea that the pack basically just had juice in it already.
There are few jurisdiction where everything relating to prostitution is legal. And once you operate in countries where it's not, you're opening yourself up to attacks and really relying on some country to not be convinced to extradite you or invent charges.

The core team is much smaller than that. There are a couple advisers/seed investors, but they are not all aware of each other (that's the 5 number). In every person's case, this is not our first rodeo. This is one of the key issues and I feel we have it handled. Everyone else will be hired in a trustless manner and investors have no part in day to day operations.
I like to be mentally engaged, but in something that is not the same sort of mental engagement as programming. Tennis is great. I don't do much ballroom dancing, but what I've done I really enjoy. I also play a lot of music. These have a physical component in addition to a mental one. Surfing, I also like, but it's more solitary, and coding tends to be a somewhat solitary activity (not nearly as solitary as people often think, though). But the cold ocean and the mental process of reading and catching waves is a kind of relief or therapy for a brain exhausted after a day of unweaving and re-knitting code.

I have trouble understanding why people love playing go or chess or other highly analytical or memory based games. Casual card games, that are heavily random but involve just enough strategy to require a bit of mental engagement, those seem for some reason to ease social interaction, so those "strategy" games, I like.

But hey, some people can't wait to get to chess or go club at the end of a day of coding, and that's pretty excellent, go for it of course.
Yeah, it's a long shot. Yet they took the time to get the AMP in.
I was under the assumption that the $100 price included the prices of imports.

At some point the analogy breaks down, since importing people isn't the same thing as importing things. The points were that these kinds of pricing shifts can and have happened before, reactions can be varied, and reactions usually affect things on the demand (i.e., employer) side of the equation.
IIRC they would refuel mid-air shortly after take off for long range missions.

It's not a question of turning down free millions of dollars. There is risk. If he puts his face on the operation he could be the subject of lawsuits if or when it blows up. It's also possible but very expensive to do an ICO and not violate securities laws. So he either puts fourth the massive time and capital to do it legally or he risks heavy fines and lawsuits. The lawsuits will probably come no matter what.

To be fair to them, they wanted to create a language whose compiler did fit into the limited hardware they had.

It's not their fault that UNIX had so much success and the world largely went there ignoring most of the progress made in programming tools and languages during the 70s.

> For Chinese, this means you think you know better than a professional, than experts. It’s the act of seeing something and saying “why don’t they do this instead?”. Traditionally, this is viewed as extremely arrogant and certainly not something to be encouraged in children or anyone else.

> Simply put, in a strictly hierarchical society, proposing a solution missed by your superiors is at the very least perceived as arrogant. You’re just as likely to be penalized in some way for making whoever is responsible for the current solution lose face as you are to benefit in any way from proposing a better way.

Is this generally true in other industries as well? How do Chinese companies try to be innovative, if people are discouraged from suggesting ideas?
In case anyone was wondering what the service was:

"It was a web site where sellers offered items for sale at fixed prices. The items available on half.com are limited to books, textbooks, music, movies, video games, and video game consoles."[0]

Vega 56 and 64 would be decent, but AMD basically overclocked them way too far past the point of diminishing returns out of the box, in order to make them, on paper, beat the GTX 1070 and 1080 respectively. If put on a power-saver profile, they're suddenly much more respectable. But AMD keep gambling that a loud, power-hungry and hot by default card will do well if it narrowly beats the closest NVidia card in benchmarks. They should perhaps stop making this gamble.

Or so this guy claims: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AavuWT17X48. Seems to be borne out by reviewers' general impressions though.
This was an interesting article!

At the same time, there are innovations out of China (that surpass anything which may have inspired it, or which they could have started out copying). So judging by their output, whatever cultural issues surrounded:

>For Chinese, this means you think you know better than a professional, than experts. It’s the act of seeing something and saying “why don’t they do this instead?”. Traditionally, this is viewed as extremely arrogant and certainly not something to be encouraged in children or anyone else.

does not seem to extend to the whole of their ecosystem.
I realize the author calls the above a "traditional" perspective.

Could anyone here who is current with current developments of Chinese IP and innovation comment on the validity of this general characterization?

The author in the entirety of the article certainly paints the Chinese culture with a very broad brush. But as would concern readers here on HN, the only thing that matters is what engineers who might work with them think.

What do people here think of the perspective in the article? For Chinese readers, do you agree with it?

Hard to disagree there.

Does it really usually take 2 months for something like this to get disclosed? Seems like anyone bored enough to run a SYN scan on one of these would find the vulnerable services instantly.

I wouldn't want to have my oven on when I am not home- it might just be me but it seems dangerous to leave a hot oven unattended. I always check the oven before starting it to make sure it's empty. I guess I am somewhat paranoid that something somehow ended up in there.

The rest of the stuff I, personally, don't see any value in other than energy efficiency and that doesn't really require networking. My fridge is constantly telling me that I need a new water and air filters but I just ignore it and assume it's a ploy to sell more filters (like printers that report you need more ink despite printing fine).

What exactly is the benefit that these platform companies derive from AMP? Last time i asked the claim was that google gets some "tracking" benefit by serving the amp.js file the pages have to include, which seems unlikely but whatever. But for Twitter, or Bing, or any other platform that is preferring to link to AMP pages over full-featured HTML, what is the benefit? It can't be tracking for them, they aren't hosting the amp.js file.

The only possible benefit I can see for Twitter to link to AMP is that their testing proves users prefer AMP pages, meaning a better user experience is result when "development is clearly steered by platform companies". When you say AMP is biased in the platform companies favour, what you really mean is it is biased in the user's favour.

As we've seen with the state of the non-amp mobile web, it's not simple to load quickly. Maybe it's simple to implement if that is your goal, but convincing all the involved stakeholders that it's a worthwhile goal is hard, and so the mobile web is slow as hell. The open web had their chance to make fast sites, and failed. So now an industry-led carrot-and-stick style approach is being used, and it's actually working. pages load fast now. And the HN Community, who is responsible for making a lot of those slow sites ("oh! let's load another three analytics platforms, it's only a couple megs") is angry.
