Norway and Iceland don't need to become full EU members for a China FTA creating conflicts between them and the EU. There's already overlap between products covered under Iceland's FTA with China and its FTA with the EU/EEA, but in practice it doesn't matter much because any gains from lower import duties are negated by expensive shipping from Iceland.

If Norway signs a similar agreement an EEA country with open land borders with the EU will have a FTA with China. At that point the EU would either need to never liberalize certain trade with the EEA least Norway become a shipping and distribution hub for Chinese goods into the EU, or accept that to get closer integration with Norway and the other EEA members.

There has been increasing liberalization of trade between the EU and EEA members, just last month the EU and Iceland agreed to drop almost all import duties on agricultural products[1].

In addition to all of that, with global warming gearing up the Northeast Passage[2] might become a viable shipping route between China and Europe, at that point shipping from China to Norway will be the shortest shipping route between China and Europe by far. Sailing from China to Europe via the NEP to Norway cuts time at sea and fuel consumption by more than half compared to going via the Suez Canal.

I had a reverse experience with Google support. Me and my wife bought our Nexus 5x phones at the same time, me from amazon and she from Google. When mine bootlooped (under warranty), I was forced to contact LG and they did take the phone in but returned it back without fixing claiming "water damage". I read online that they were doing that for many customers to shrug off their responsibility.

When my wife's phone bootlooped (8 months out of warranty), Google shipped her a replacement phone for free! I swore myself away from buying any LG products after that.

I have a Goodreads tag[1] where I've tried to gather as many "definitive" or "best" books by Literature Nobel winners as I could find. (Subjective, of course: based on Goodreads scores, thegreatestbooks.org ranking, etc.) I've never even heard of a lot of the winners over the years, so I thought it might help vary up my reading a bit. Will look forward to adding a new name!

I mean for me opening a new window? (unsure of the terminology) ie. start with 1, new panel 2. Anyway use alt + number to open the new panel.

If I could have the predefined tiles and bind it to a key combo and then they would open up in a new panel (like 2)

Anyway thanks for the links/explanation
Yeah you're right. Basically my concern is having backdoors written into driver firmware that can not be removed. For example Intel's ME [1], AMD's PSP [2], Samsung's BL1 bootloader, etc. For me personally I don't mind using hardware that has patents and copyright, so long as when I buy it I'm free to do what I want with it without undue surveillance from corporations or government.

So yes, I guess the hardware isn't open, but all the software/firmware on can be (for example the RK3288 [3]) (of course with the exception of the GPU).

Totally the guy's fault. No one in their right mind should have 3 months (or even a few days) worth of code without a backup/version control system set up.
Initially I thought that dropping the jack was a "meh" idea, myself using only bluetooth headphones for more than 2 years now.

But then every single time I commute or go to a park I see a bunch of people with their cable headphones and how inconvenient it is: the cables are just messy, they cling to stuff.

Wireless headphones make more sense in terms of how easy it is to use them. Although, agreed - the PR on dropping the headphone jack was pretty bad.

While this is correct, for that to be true a person would need to be using the same wallet address for every transaction which is contrary to default wallet behavior / best practices. I think people conflate the side effect of KYC regulation (mass identity linking) with an inherent weakness of blockchains when it's not. I can buy BTC directly from a person to a new wallet address and it is pseudonymous at that moment. My point is the blockchain doesn't provide or remove anonymity, its just a medium that does not require identity. Meanwhile, every bank transaction you make is recorded with your ID and its all sitting in a handfull of databases waiting to be hacked like equifax was. If used the way they were intended the anonymity could be miles ahead of where we are now (just ask the ransomware bitcoin hackers).
Yes, that's true and I wonder how these are related.

While clang's creation doesn't root only n the fact of "wrong" engineering, but of different goals and politics.

For the later: An important driver in clang are Apple and BSD communities who don't want to have GNU software (especially GPLv3) in their systems.

Also parts of gcc's architecture are created for political reasons to make it harder to decouple, while clang's primary design was to build a library which understands C/C++ and also can be used as a compiler.

The purely technical arguments (i.e. gcc has bad diagnostics and clang gives better errors) are minor (gcc, due to the competition, became way better, if equal time would have gone to gcc instead of clang it might be even better)

All that said: I really love this cooperative competition which benefits everybody, where you have different options try out ideas and where for large parts contributors discuss ideas between competing solutions.
Can you help me understand why a token makes sense in this case? It seems just as easy to implement this concept as Colony SaaS.
Which state? Because China's rise is corroborated by governments and press worldwide. Not sure if you're suggesting they're all in on your conspiracy. But even if they were it would probably take a lot of money and influence to buy them all off as mouthpieces, so either way, China rose. If you still doubt it, visit & see for yourself.

Is there a particular model you recommend? Seems like there are a variety of chromebooks, I wouldn't expect them to all be the same quality, but perhaps they are?
I've been using a Samsung Chromebook Pro for the last couple of months as my primary machine. Pretty happy with it! My needs are pretty modest though, as I do my development work over ssh.

I do think it's awesome to be able to run progressive web apps, Android apps and native Linux apps (using crouton and xiwi) side by side rather seamlessly. This makes it a more versatile platform than any, IMO.
Google tells me there's an audiobook version out there, probably. (Audiobooks seem to be the only way I can get myself to read these days!)
For wealth, it’s probably a toughie, but for reputation it’s a bit easier because reputation decays over time. That means it’s impossible for an influence aristocracy to emerge. There will still likely be a power law distribution of influence at play, but it won’t be as extreme as it might otherwise be, and people will have to remain active to retain their influence.
That cynicism is often self-fulfilling: the best way to ensure that outcome is to treat it as a given and not contact your representatives and state prosecutors asking for more.

Ecmascript asynchronicity – Dynamic import
Ignoring for the moment this article is about a UK politician wanting to make changes to UK law - you might want to look at THE FBI lists. They haven't featured left wing groups since the 70s. They still regularly feature extreme right wing groups.

Most "lone wolf" mass shooters are on the far right; we've seen far right activists shooting into crowds of demonstrators, or driving vehicles into crowds of demonstrators.

For all the talk of "punching Nazis" it's not the left wing who are perpetrating violence in the US.
To answer the question at last, yes, I am interested.
genuine question - can this be done in python in a production ready manner ?

I'm have been trying to answer this question for quite some time. In Haskell, writing monads or applying category theory is part of the idiomatic language. Not so in js or python.

for example, if you want to apply haskell like concepts in javascript, the closest thing I know is purescript (http://www.purescript.org/) or Bucklescript. So you need to switch over to a different language to achieve the richness of these concepts.

I'm hardpressed to apply these concepts idiomatically to the mainstream languages.
Compare this to design patterns or OO, or reactive programming (via rxjs or whatever) - which are so accessible that they are now the reason to learn a particular language!

Then dispute absence of logic. Not conclusions.
I've been using a de-chromed acer c720 as my primary machine for a couple of years now, I upgraded the m2 sata, wiped it, and installed xubuntu. This is a low powered machine though, and the display barely tolerable. I use it for web browsing and side projects using vim and scripting languages.

Sounds like the newest machines are much more capable, I would never try to do Java development with a heavy ide like eclipse on this setup, for example.
Well, unfortunately, this all comes down to communication.

Agile meetings serve a few basic purposes:

1. They provide a venue to communication requirements from Product to Development.

2. They provide a venue for Development to communication questions, concerns, or technical details back to Product.

3. They provide a venue for external stakeholders to observe progress and provide further input on requirements.

4. They facilitate communication inside the team, both on basic status, but also in refining and improving internal processes through introspection.

You could avoid a lot of this by, instead, writing lots and lots of documentation covering requirements, processes and procedures, etc.

Or, you can hold regular meetings and talk stuff out.

You pick.

No process is perfect, but every process has to provide these communication channels in one form or another.

Of course, to a single dev, communication always feels like overhead. It's not.

That said, just a couple points in response to your rant:

Estimating story points for tasks when we know there is only one who has the skills to do it

Then your team should do more cross-training or be more creative about sharing work. Just because one person can code, doesn't mean other people can't test, perform code reviews, assist in writing documentation, participate in pair programming, etc.

Alternatively, the team is just too damn big. Including Scrum Master and Product Owner, you should be at no more than 9 people, and preferably 7. At that size, it's pretty hard to have only one person work on anything.

It's an absolute sign of dysfunction if, in your team, people think "only one person can work on that"... you're being myopic.

direct conversions between time and story points.

You're not supposed to do that. Your process is broken.

Countless hours spent in splitting and combining "stories" to make them agile sized bites.

That's a good thing, not a bad one. Small pieces of work are achievable and predictable.

Estimation meetings that take half a day,

Your process is broken. There are many ways to streamline these activities. Introduce timeboxed backlog refinement meetings. Ensure the PO is adhering to a strict Definition of Ready. Have a discipline Scrum Master who shuts down irrelevant ratholing.

And why aren't these issues raised and addressed in your retrospectives?

where for every story only 20% of all the people who sit there can contribute.

See above.
Getting old build tools to work is really awesome. I went through a similar process getting an old version of HPHPc (the PHP-to-c compiler precursor to HHVM) to work[1]. I found Docker to be incredibly invaluable for doing this in a reproducible way, especially when the system state needed to be changed in complex ways or dependencies needed to be tweaked.

A small example is that the test cases only work right if English, German, Finnish and French locales are available and if the system timezone is set to "America/Los_Angeles".

Criminals rarely have guns in the UK so enforcing the law with firearms is not usually necessary.
But it also looks like a western person showed up and messed with their system, thereby purposefully sabotaging them and trying to get services blocked to the average Chinese?
Iron Seeding Linked to Global Climate Change
Good question. On this recommendation, I immediately went to Audible, but they apparently don't have the '99 books-on-tape version.

I can say that I've "read" more Ishiguro through audiobooks than paper, and that they've all been excellent. Rosalyn Landor's Never Let Me Go was particularly moving.

The first-person perspective used by Ishiguro in several of his novels lends itself very well to the format. When We Were Orphans isn't typically considered one of his stronger works, but as a "told tale" I found it fascinating.

can Pixel 2 XL beat the IPhone X ?
Yes, been using it as my primary development machine for the last two years. I work on a large Node / React codebase, and occasionally do design work.

My setup:

* Chromebook Pixel 2 in dev mode

* Crouton (https://github.com/dnschneid/crouton/) running CLI-only Debian stretch

* Google's SSH app (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/secure-shell/pnhec...)

* Tmux running with NeoVim, cmus for music

My dotfiles and setup scripts are all here: https://github.com/fortes/dotfiles

Overall, I like this better than the old mac setup I have. Being in dev mode (and having to enter crouton chroot once per boot) aren't ideal, but I've gotten used to it. I'm hoping that maybe we'll get first class support soon though ( https://www.reddit.com/r/chromeos/comments/742f8j/how_chrome... )
> See Iraq/Iran/Libya/Egypt and other examples from Middle East.

The first three were military interventions, very different from fighting censorship. I don't know enough about Egypt/Mubarak to say the level of Western involvement if any.

Also China is interfering in other governments - specifically Taiwan and HK - all the time. *

* Re: HK, China agreed to allow HK people to vote for the leaders by 2017 in return for sovereignty, and did not fulfill this promise, therefore there is no reason to recognize their sovereignty.

"Cowboy is a small, fast and modern HTTP server for Erlang/OTP"

It could really use this line on the linked page for people (me) that never heard of Cowboy in the first place. HTTP/2.0 gave me a clue, but plenty of client software that has HTTP/2.0 support too.
That is correct. Gnome will not ever implement any DPI scaling on X11 again, or proper DPI scaling, they will only do integer scaling, because that allows them to write pixel-perfect layouts. This is the same as macOS and iOS.

All other platforms – Windows, Android, Qt, the web – use the opposite model.

What is the original story that you're talking about? The other poster and I are just curious what story you mean. Can you elaborate?
Serverless Apps with Node and Claudia.js walks you through building serverless apps on AWS using JavaScript.

The US has never recognized the One China policy or China's claim over Taiwan. Instead, the US merely acknowledges China's position.

Of course, as a superpower, you have a little bit more negotiating leverage.

However, China's only been successful at bullying countries into recognizing some of its more absurd positions because it has negotiated on bilateral bases, where in almost every case China holds significantly more relative economic clout.

If the US, the EU, the UK, Canada, Japan, and Australia collectively took a position and agreed to provide support for any country that was individually attacked or sanctioned by China for its position, then you'd probably see a much more restrained policy response from China (although their rhetoric would likely be quite loud).

We've known for years that China's foreign policy has largely consisted of "salami slicing" — pressing hard for small concessions that cumulatively result in dramatic changes to international norms, and in the past states engaging in such behavior have been met with a strong and united international response, but for numerous reasons, the reaction to China still remains quite muted.
Seems like to get any good developer use out of it you either got to root it or run crouton. Basically get some linux on it. I used macbooks for a long time but new one specially the 13" pro did not have the specs I was looking for. Eventually settled for a Dell XPS developer edition. But these new pixelbooks have an amazing build. Would love to get my hands on one but sounds like I'd have to root it for my purposes at least.
I think there are also philosophical reasons why the British people aren't keen on the further militarisation of the Police, especially routine patrols.

It's traditionally been the job of the Police to uphold the law with the consent of the People.

It's the job of the Military to extend the will of the Politicians by bringing violence to enemies of the State.

By further militarising the Police, it implies the People (or sections of) have become enemies of the State, which is not a great situation to be in... also this is why a lot of British people consider US Police Departments to be insanely trigger-happy.
How did you setup ssh-agent?
Senators don’t award contracts.

In this case, the IRS is already using that service so when you see “no bid” that really means they didn’t want to take a production service offline while they re-bid it and/or hire the staff/contractors who would update the application to use something else. Remember that the rules government staff are required to follow are heavily based on up-front planning so putting out a bid means many months of delay.

All of the anger directed at the IRS for this really should be directed into a positive direction of reforming the acquisitions process.
My best guess as an uninformed lurker and a Keybase user is that it's too early to know. You would have to know what's the impact of "sunsetting" features and for that you probably need more than 180k early adopters.

In case of chat you can always fallback to Telegram (I've done that after trying to move people to Wire).

In case of git you can always move the repo.

With the setup that's there now I can see how it could be used as the main origin along with a push to GitHub hook. Pull requests would be even mergable (blessed be Torvalds), though I'm not 100% sure if GitHub would pick up on that and autoclose the PR.
There are actually lots functional proof of stake coins like byteball and NEM for example (but I share your skepticism about long term viability of proof of stake BECAUSE it doesn't cost anything). I think the energy "waste" isn't waste because it serves a purpose. For someone to forge a transaction they would need to control a huge amount of hash power which would cost a fortune. On the other hand, there's always ideas like gridcoin that use that hash power to do scientific computations at the same time (best of both worlds?).
As a Chinese citizen, I would appreciate if you stop thinking about "helping" us.

Even if you are genuine, it would come across as condescending.

Majority of people in China are happy with their lives, we certainly do not see the need for help from other countries in the way you wanted to.

Instead, I would suggest you focus on the problems and issues faced in your own country. In Chinese, there is a saying that "Please take care of your own backyard, before thinking of cleaning up other people's backyard."

Every country has its own problems, US, Spain, UK and China. Do you see people from UK offering to help solve gun problems in US? Do you see people from US offering to help self-determination problem in Spain?

Don't assume you have the moral high ground and Chinese people need your help. Try to talk to Chinese people and understand their perspective first.
