Cultures fixated on the belt for the most part, the hunter with the lion's head and the sword or the bow is the Greek version which is common in the west today.

Edit: Also I've actually fact checked, and I couldn't find the 3 generals at all in Chinese astronomy (there is the stars), but Orion (the western version) isn't a single constellation in Chinese astronomy at all.

And going by that I don't see anything relates to a hunter.

In my case, it's an economic reason.

The monthly discount that Canadian carriers offer for bringing your own phone is generally lower than the value of the phone. So why would I pay upfront if the model I want is available from the carrier?
Also, for reasons that aren't entirely clear to me, weather/emergency radio in the US, run by NOAA, is FM on a different VHF band between 162.4 MHz and 162.55 MHz, which most run-of-the-mill receivers don't tune. To be emergency-prepared in the US, you are wise to own such a weather band radio, a lot of which come with built-in hand-crank dynamos, flashlights, and other features useful in a dicey situation.

However, this development does segregate the most useful set of government-run emergency functionality away from ordinary consumer devices and into a special product category.
While a lot of people on the team have PhDs, I definitely would not describe Neuralink as "PhD heavy theory stage"!

Sadly it is against the US Constitution.

The subsidy days are (mostly) gone. Now they pay the full MSRP, but financed at 0% interest for 2 years.

In fact, they pay more than MSRP if you consider the fact you're forced to attach a phone plan which costs more than the equivalent plan from an MVNO using the same network.

Or generally if historically oppressed minorities get poorer health outcomes.

It seems a complex question that has many facets. Two tickets that come to mind:

1. When US sociologists and political scientists talk about “systemic and structural racism” this is one of the manifestations.

That in general the well being of Native peoples in the US, of African Americans is devalued. It is witnessed in the exclusion in drug trials, in the diseases that pharma considers worthwhile to address, in the staffing of hospitals, in the access to healthcare,etc.

2. The unique inefficiency of the US healthcare system among those of wealthy countries has been documented in depth so I don’t know if is possible to do an adequate comparison of progressive health systems (e.g. Japan, UK, Finland) against that of the US.

It might be worthwhile to pull in progressive health systems that focus primarily upon Black people —- Botswana comes to mind —- as a point of comparison.

Correct. In theory I could get an EIN for my own company and use that instead, but that's more hoops than I'm willing to jump through and I'm not even 100% sure that would solve my problem, as they may tie it back to me another way.

If it were truly ad-free, maybe. But there's nothing to stop them from starting a subscription-based service and then slowly introducing advertising to squeeze more revenue out of the platform, once everyone is invested in it. It would need to be a self-governed, non-profit cooperative. Or a government service.

> It takes me ~4 "seconds" (saying "one-one thousand" aloud) to do it when typing in a password (sorry, don't have a stopwatch handy). Just did it 10 times just to test. It'd be even faster with pin/fingerprint/face unlocking, or with no locking at all.

Ah, but did you test this in your quiet office or home, sitting at your desk with both hands free?

Let's try a real-world environment. Something like, say, driving in your car, in moderate traffic, with both hands on the wheel while listening to your radio. That ~4 seconds becomes a barrier-to-entry just large enough to abandon the idea of finding out what the name is to that song you are listening to.

Because, lets be honest, wondering what the song is isn't that important. But it is nice. Which is why this feature has some proponents.
The response of a coffee table when one bumps into it can be explained by Newton's laws alone, so by Occam's razor we can exclude the notion that consciousness is also involved.

To be honest this should be a required course for most CS programs!

Way more useful than other theoretical classes that were required but only probably needed in grad school.

Software engineers (myself included) have this deep resentment for technical interviews, but they are part of a software developer life and the more comfortable we get doing them, the better off we are in long term!

> It's definitely not just a conservative problem, so don't go blaming it on Trump.

Maybe you're repeating what people have said to you, but it's a very liberal bubble thing to say it's a conservative problem. Weinstein and Jobs certainly aren't (weren't) conservative. Rahm Emanuel isn't considered a sweetheart.

Also, conservative outlets (the National Review, the Weekly Standard, etc.) generally opposed Trump's campaign, so that's not even the correct label if we're going to get partisan about this. I like to argue that he's a personality with whims and allies more than an ideology. I think the case that he's properly "conservative", either in politics or in temperament, is a little thin.

But to agree with your actual point, American culture is tolerant of terrible behavior more than it should be. The fact that Donald "grab them by the pussy" Trump was elected is downstream of that problem. Though arguably Hilary "bimbo eruptions" Clinton was seen as an enabler of other terrible behavior instead of a clear contrast to Trump's.
See https://www.eff.org/nsa-spying/wordgames#collect :

Normally, one would think that a communication that has been
intercepted and stored in a government database as “collected.”
But the government’s definition of what it means to “collect”
intelligence information is quite different from its plain
meaning.

Under Department of Defense regulations, information is
considered to be “collected” only after it has been “received
for use by an employee of a DoD intelligence component,” and
“data acquired by electronic means is ‘collected’ only when it
has been processed into intelligible form.”

In other words, the NSA can intercept and store communications
in its data base and have an algorithm search them for key
words and analyze the meta data without ever considering the
communications “collected.”

TL;DR they're being swept up and stored indefinitely for everyone, all the time, right now.
Please check box's financials [1]. They have annual revenues of $500M
and can surely show a profit with non standard accounting practices (all the BS employed as disclaimers by Dropbox to spin a loss as a profit). Box's valuation is around $3.2B.

Personally, anything over a $6.5B valuation for Dropbox is grossly over valuing it, by using Box as a benchmark from the open market

What you have to understand as a baseline is that AEI is a partisan think-tank, so they're not telling truths or exploring the spectrum of interpretations, they're coming at any given issue with an ideologically driven mantra. And in this case, that mantra is that the commerce clause of the constitution, which states:

The Congress shall have power ... To regulate commerce with foreign nations, and among the several states, and with the Indian tribes;

means that congress has exclusive power to regulate interstate commerce. This actually has a ton of case precedent around it, and speaking as neutrally as possible, the courts have never simply ruled that only the federal government has the power to regulate commerce amongst the states.
I agree with you somewhat, but before we even care about HODLing, BTC needs to get fees and transaction confirmation times way down for it to be used as a currency.

Right now, it can take 10 minutes and $20 to transfer any amount of money on the BTC network. That isn't reasonable to buy a hamburger.

in china nothing is private, not even your medical info. Your employer can see your medical records if they want and often force employees to get yearly medical checks that are forwarded to HR and it is often used to figure out which female employees are pregnant and they will try to get rid of them rather than pay maternity leave. There are laws against all this but not enforced
I agree with your mission statement.

It's important to match the demographics of the population with the demographics of trial users. It's important to prevent as many deaths as we can.

Given the habits of the Chinese government, do you think Chinese software and information services will be popular outside of China?
Sure, but they just loan a lot of money from central banks which is actually made from thin air.
>But I'm unconvinced that this is a good measure of software complexity; for one, there are only three nontrivial complexity levels (2, 3, 4)

But can we even reason beyond 4 levels? This point made a lot of sense to me. My intuition is that this comes down to our fundamental inability to generally solve quintics. There are also topological proofs to this which fit the author's point perfectly [0]. 4th degree is the limit of formal proof.

The time value of money is still a subsidy. The average American consumer has stacks of debt (credit card, student loan, etc) which makes fronting $1k for a phone more difficult.

I don't think this is just Chinese workers, although it's a more noticeable phenomenon just because of the numbers involved.

Many of my European colleagues have expressed a desire to move back to Europe soon (<3 years, much less for many of them). It's a mix of a number of things (for many, family is a big component), but really the biggest one is that they don't feel that the opportunities the US offers are worth the sacrifices they have to make anymore. A particular sacrifice that comes to mind is their spouse being able to work - the Green Card process has been a shit show lately.

In fact, many of them are realizing that the "American Tech Dream" that was sold to them did not live up to expectations - particularly when it comes to things like being able to afford a house, education for children, healthcare, etc. in the Bay Area.

I've been in tech, in Silicon Valley, for 8 years, and this feels like it's really influenced by the Trump presidency (the moment Trump got elected, I have a few friends who left the US). But it's probably been brewing for longer than that, and I was just paying less attention to it at the beginning of my career.

FWIW I'm European and intend on leaving the US in <2 years for similar reasons (namely, that I can have a much better standard of life in Europe, be closer to my family, and do work that is as meaningful).
You’re right. I meant, if anything Bitcoin is Google, but it’s not even that.

Do you think the only thing that makes cryptocurrencies valuable is transaction rate?
You’ve got it reversed. Sociopaths lack empathy, but are not anti social. Instead they use manipulative social interaction like a knife to get what they want. Psychopaths are just crazy in comparison.
But it doesn't mean they propagate "fine" if it pushes smaller participants off the network. That is exactly what cryptos like Bitcoin are trying to avoid.
They do not need to be popular. They can just buy shares or even fusion with their EU/US counterparts.

The problem is we are too damn stupid to realize that we cant allow chinese protectionism anymore
From what I've seen, Pelosi pretty consistently votes for expansion of state surveillance and other aspects of the security apparatus. So this vote is entirely in line with her general voting record...

> I've never understood why people buy phones from the carriers rather than from a retail store or online and insert the SIM (for GSM carriers).

Cultural momentum. In the US, phones used to be heavily subsidized by carriers via contracts. Even if you brought your own phone, and don't think the carriers gave you a big enough discount to make it economically justifiable, so the practice of buying "unlocked" phones never took off and was more of a niche thing.

That's all changed recently, with the death of long-term contracts, but old habits die hard.
Mostly everything that teenagers do. Hang out, date, make friends, learn to socialize and not be constantly anxious around other people. Things like that, things that involve socializing. I tried to make up for it in college too by partying and doing plenty of irresponsible shit (because I felt entitled to having the teenage years I was robbed of). I had no problems graduating, but no one else who tried to keep up actually graduated. I'd say learning to socialize and be around people is more valuable than anything else I did learn as a teenager, by far.

Tensions aren't really high between China, US, and Russia. We are all huge trading partners, and no one wants to see the money stop flowing. In any time besides modern history they would be considered friendly.
Yeah. I was about to say don’t get mad at the West, because we don’t trust you, get mad at your own government. If China was a free and open society to the point where I could simply understand the relationship their businesses have with their government than we don’t have a problem, but that relationship is just too murky for my liking right now.
I can attest to this.

Unless you are a 6 foot plus black guy with a wicked three point shot... do not go to China to make your fortune if you are not Chinese. Go to China to ASSIST someone ELSE in making a fortune instead. You'll be a good deal more successful.
It is understandable why somebody would want to return to their home-country. The "Bamboo Ceiling" the article discusses is incredibly concerning. It's America's loss for sure.

I'm curious (1) how much of these people's education or experience was subsidized by the American economy and (2) how common the same situation is in China (i.e. US expats training up in China and taking that expertise back to the US).

If (1) and (2) aren't aligned, it could be one of the factors contributing to the growing sense that we pour a bunch of money into higher-ed without seeing much return.

I don't mean this from a US nationalist or political perspective - I'm merely speculating on the economics. Are the incentives for coming to the country aligned for both the person and the country? Many companies will pay for employees to go to grad-school but demand repayment if the employee isn't still with the company N years later. Would such a system for college/work visas make any sense to help keep talent?
Eh, if you think there is a bamboo ceiling in SV, there is a corresponding foreigner ceiling that is much lower in china. Most of us who worked in china shuffle out after 2 or 3 years, long timers beyond 5 years are rare.

Granted. Lots of opinions stated as fact, or just wrong. Here are a few:

> The original Star Wars films (Episodes IV-VI) celebrated the revolutions of the 1960s and 1970s

> Leia’s use of the Force to return, zombie-like, to a position of leadership and oversee further disasters is another instance of boomers’ misusing their privileges to cling to their hegemony as long as they can.

> Note that in none of the eight movies so far is the intensive and painful Jedi training regimen followed through.

> The film’s meta-commentary is that the revolutions of 1968 and following accomplished nothing.

UPDATE: The entire piece is definitely satire, which explains why the opinions expressed within it are so silly. :)
That is interesting, I also experience some strange state of consciousness before getting to sleep, however, every time I lose awareness after a while.
