Just as a curious observation, i wonder whether that sadness and disappointment would have been around before cameras and photos were invented.

Interesting, i live in a third-world country and we already have a "General Data Protection Regulation" law in place.
This is a good question. Perhaps it is as simple as this is the leadership culture in China. Their great leaders are firm, are tough, do not tolerate dissent. And maybe people respect them for it.

"I don't know" is the real answer, but here is my guess.

My Chinese friends are incredibly social, incredibly loyal (to each other), trustworthy (to each other) to a fault. They may be ready to submit to an irresistible power, but if they feel they could resist, and somehow benefit their group, they might resist. They love China, they know a strong government is a necessity, they might not particularly care who that government is run by, and might be happy to help replace one dictator with another.

I think the social nature of the culture is the key here. Americans often try to stand out and be independent. Chinese seem to see themselves as part of a group, and they are very good at self-organizing even large groups of people. While the government is in power, that is their government. If it seems like the tide of the opinion of your group is we need a new government, maybe they'll take the streets en masse (like tiananmen square). So maybe the culture means that 99% of the time everyone is peaceful and cooperative, and then that 1% of the time everyone is in the streets burning down the governors house. I don't think anyone would enjoy mob rule, so maybe even the mob would tend to replace a strong ruler with another strong ruler.

These are just my thoughts based on the people I know.

But I think the Chinese government has always lived in fear of the mob. Their biggest threat has never been an outside power, but their own people. There are an incredible number of people living in a small area. This explains the one-child policy in my mind, too many people == not enough food == mobs in the street. So, perhaps as simply self-preservation, the government has 1) limited their population 2) ensured constant economic growth 3) limited the ability for a mob to form at all by controlling communication 4) tried to instill national pride and patriotism whenever possible.
Sure, this is something a bit special : we clearly have an easy way to get into new companies, there is no friction on getting on Slite for them.

The thing is we solve way more issues for teams between 20-200 people, as they are the one struggling with process and knowledge sharing. The strategy we have to convince them is by integrating in their workflow : if Slite can solve their issues while requiring a low-cost setup by integrating in their toolchain, we think it can prove value quickly enough for those teams to adopt it. And clearly Skype or Office will be at some point included in those integrations.

As for the Exchange servers to be honest I have no idea and it will highly depend on our users' demand.
From the article:

"Science is promoted as objective, quantifiable, and the foundation for “real” knowledge creation or evaluation while Traditional Knowledge may be seen as anecdotal, imprecise and unfamiliar in form."

That's because "Traditional Knowledge" IS anecdotal and imprecise.

Science as a process does not simply discount so-called Traditional Knowledge out of hand. But to imply (as portions of this article seem to) that modern science is acting arrogantly or elitist when stories steeped in sympathetic magic are glossed over by ecologists is laughable.
Also allows for favors w/o compensation.

How we provide unlimited tutoring for $99/month at Humbot
Can anyone more familiar with this case comment on what exactly happened here?

It sounds like two private organizations, DUH (Deutsche Umwelthilfe) and ClientEarth, sued a couple of cities (Munich, Stuttgart, and Dusseldorf, possibly among others), saying they had to improve air quality. This was, apparently, on the basis that the cities had illegally high levels of NOx -- I'm not certain on what basis this was illegal, whether German or EU regulations.

Munich offered a ban, which everyone was happy with. Stuttgart and Dusseldorf attempted to offer a mitigation strategy, and DUH and ClientEarth sued again saying that the mitigation was insufficient, and the judge ruled that they only a ban would suffice.

The cities appealed, apparently on the basis that they were not legally allowed to impose such a ban(?) and now, a higher court has ruled that they are legally allowed to impose such a ban.
I find it unfathomable he doesn't have a firm pulse on how YouTube is progressing as a business. It is effectively their Instagram and could end up being bigger than Google search itself. It's their next step forward in monetization which clearly (one would think) would solilcit regular oversight by the founder of the company.

LEDs also work much better outdoors at low temperature.
That's a strange statement. More horsepower based on what? I think if you look around, you'll see that the largest and highest horsepower combustion engines all burn diesel. Semi-trailers are exclusively diesel.

Your statement on speed is also odd. Record setting cars may burn gas, but your typical car driving around a city or highway needn't ever go faster than 160km/h. Most cars can achieve this, and most modern cars, whether diesel or gas, can achieve this without much difficulty.

This leaves us with acceleration, where diesel vs gas is equally unclear. As small diesel engines often ship with turbos, you'd be perhaps comparing a turbocharged 2.0L diesel vs a normally aspirated 2.0L gas engine. Assuming roughly equivalent mass of the cars, with higher low-end torque, the diesel will win just about any street race.

If what you're comparing is purchase price to acceleration, then indeed the gas cars may win.
Unfortunately this is not the case! TVA has a "sell all buy all" rule, that if you are connected to the grid and generate 5kw, you are required to sell all of those 5kw to the grid (at wholesale price). Then you buy back the 4kw you use (at retail price). It doesn't matter if you were only using your own generated power, you still pay. Crazy! I didn't believe it the first time I read it either, but that is really the law they adopted.
Is this true of the US? I see articles from 2015/2016 about credit rating agencies (FICO in particular) looking into "alternate data" to inform scores, including social media stuff, but it looks like FB was fighting that to some extent (more regulatory burden) and the tone is "this is coming" not "this is here".
I want to think like that but would like to understand the details before believing in it.

Recently, I read "China's Future" by David Shambaugh. He argues along the same lines as you. He claims that the development driven by exports and government investing is exhausted because of growing protectionism, competition from nearby countries and growing inefficiency on government companies.

Meanwhile the country still has a lot inequality to solve, between west and the east coast and rural and urban population. It is also getting old very fast and doesn't have a good welfare network.

Therefore, the only path ahead is development of internal market. He claims that for this the country needs transparency, the rule of law and diversity of ideas but I don't think he made it very clear to me, however. Truth is that autocratic countries (e.g: Russia, Turkey, Cuba, Belarus, etc) are very, very bad at creating diversified economies. Let's see if China finds a way to do it.
This is a shame! I've been using Docracy for years as a good, free alternative to echosign. Hopefully something similar will spring up in its place.
Surveillance isn't a good or evil unto itself. That's all I'm saying. It's a tool. I think it could be used to nudge behavior toward better global outcomes. I'm not wedded to the idea that everyone nearly everywhere should feel free saying anything free from consequences. Making speech accountable and attributable could be good.
> but I think outside of just blocking your site in the EU, they would need a further agreement (or I guess precedent) with the US government to actually enforce a penalty on the US company.

The US has given lots of precedent cases for that. The usual approach the US takes is to force the banks the foreign site is operating with to seize all assets. The EU likely would do the same.
I think Nostradamus predicted that!
Per key feels greedy and potentially insecure to me. “Damn. We reached our limit. Ok, let me hard code this key for now...”

I think per developer is more fair and still a good approximation of buying power and utility.
Makes sense, as Amazon gets further into delivery this provides a complimentary service to help keep packages secure and let customers see who shows up at the door. It would be interesting if someday you could also let a courier in remotely.
> But why do they want that? That’s just making life harder for all the devs. [...] Having to maybe care about DX12 even though you don’t want to is bad enough on its own.

They probably figure, if developers are willing to do it for DirectX, they'll be willing to do it for Metal also / instead.
I don't think we will have much choice about accepting the risks of computer errors/bugs. Transportation systems generally are probably reaching the the limits humans ability to manage them, we will have to turn them over more fully to computers at some point.
> "Little-to-no evidence for"

Perhaps consider that empirical evidence isn't the only form of evidence nor the only admissible form of evidence and that the way science interacts with other ways of knowing is open to criticism.
Didn't a US city try that and confirm that you are correct? I mean, it's not just studies but also real world experience. Or to put it another way: the studies were studying real world interventions, for instance this one

The ones I bought were from "WarmSea" and "Dodocool" but I think buying whatever's cheapest and has the ports you need makes sense. It's just a USB hub after all.
This site also has a nasty, "I should be able to do anything I want, and damn any externalities" thing, too.
I would love to see some of these projects simply go open source, or have an 'open for offers' time for other companies to bid on taking over operations. I'm sure many people (myself included) would be happy to keep services like this running, instead of simply turning the lights out and putting the code in the trash.
Credit score is just a mechanism to help people borrow other peoples money from across different institution in the US. Back in the day, your religious leader might walk down to the bank with you to vouch for your moral character, but that isn't really feasible today. China can literally block you from the market. A bad credit score in the US just lets other free actors see that you are a bad investment.
Is C the Best Embedded Programming Language?
They improved the headline. The original article is linked at the bottom and the title for that was "It’s taken thousands of years, but Western science is finally catching up to Traditional Knowledge".

From this you may see the original angle and intent of the article.

What of it? Science and traditional knowledge are not in competition. The article is just pointing out some interesting times where it was way ahead of science.
What company was this?
If i understand the article correctly, it's illegal when you wire it to the grid. So, powertools and a battery will be fine. i suppose you could have a big switch outside your house that lets you pick local generation or grid generation, ala a datacenter failover switch.

But nobody wants that. Really, i don't think many people care about selling the power back either. But they've made it already, why waste it? What people want is i'll make the first 5 kwh, and i want to buy any extra from the grid. And i don't want a big switch system for each light in my house. Which seems very normal and sane.

The typical practice of U.S. regulatory agencies is "I'm going to stall all efforts of change and push to repeal previously instated regulations."

Then they go and get a massive salaried position at a firm they helped make more profitable - this is inherently bad, and this strategy is happening in nearly every regulatory agency under the current administration.

I don't think it explains anything. A car purchase decision is based on a number of different factors. Availability of buttons is certainly one of them, and it is reasonable to believe that many Tesla owners have bought their vehicles despite lack of physical buttons as a compromise. For example, in the Model X forum, you would see a lot of X owners buying the car despite and Falcon Wing Doors and complaining about it later. This doesn't happen at all about the lack of physical buttons.
Well hopefully I won't make the same mistakes this time. :-)
I would have thought that Jeep had thought of that too, and yet they had vehicles that could be hacked through OnStar. When it comes to security, safety and remote control by someone else of a vehicle weighing almost 2 tons and able to reach freeway speeds in a few seconds, assumption is not what I want to rely on.
"The main feature of crypto currencies is their anonymity."

This is not true. It is actually very difficult to acquire and spend crypto currency anonymously. Not to mention it would be dangerous since you would probably need to do it in person with cash with strangers of the not so trustworthy kind.

We've been careful about what data we collect since day one, long before the GDPR was an issue. We're not doing anything shady with the data we do have, and we actively avoid questionable practices particularly around marketing, where we have ethical problems with being intrusive or compromising people's privacy regardless of any legal constraints. And yet having read the GDPR and much commentary about it, we're still concerned about the potential risks it introduces.

I think it's important to remember that GDPR itself doesn't want anything. GDPR is not a person, it's a set of legal regulations. What matters most about laws is what they actually say. Intent, as has been demonstrated countless times, is secondary.

Now, the people who wrote the GDPR might have wanted people to change their minds or think differently about privacy issues. However, that doesn't make the GDPR itself any less dangerous, and as I've argued elsewhere in this discussion, essentially those same authorities do have form already for being heavy-handed in other areas of EU law, and have caused real damage to plenty of businesses as a direct result.
LinkedIn, for example, would be one in my opinion. The channels for SMB are smaller and harder to see for businesses with IPO in their minds, but forum boards and business groups are amazing for this.
I was testing once an idea and proposed a free package to all SMB's in a certain community. I mentioned, that I was doing this to help the community and give back. Majority of requests (and I have got few dozens of them) wanted to go for the paid plan right away, which was few hundred bucks and took few hours of my time to complete.

The SMB marketing channels are surely there, but they are small and distributed, so they require much more manual work than regular channels.
This is very self-righteous. At my company, we respect our customer's data immensely. What happens is that some non-PCI data (but still PII like email addresses) data leak naturally into our log files, and I've been told his means that we need to clear our logs of that as well. We use this for debugging and data analytics, and email address is our primary username, so it's a huge undertaking for us to make this shift. I've been told this requires us to clear tape backups as well.

So it's not anything to do not respecting our customer data, it has everything to do with not seeing the unintended consequences.
Yeah, that misses out on stillbirths and miscarriages.

I rented a Tesla Model S four months ago, and I enjoyed it very much, except for the fact that they had hidden the button for the fog lights in some menu on the touch screen - it was not easy to turn on and off while driving - at all! Otherwise, it felt like someone had thinked through the most things.
We can't only experiment with structures and tools that have only upside positive consequences.

The existence of a bad outcome is something to be avoided and guarded against, but I don't see why any possible tool which has a potential to be abused should be avoided.
"As one of China's main trading partners, China doesn't want to pick a fight with the united states any more than we want to pick a fight with China."

Such thinking was very common going into World War I. The mutual economic interests of all of the nations involved led many people to believe it would be over in a few months.
Filtering out which parts are factual and which parts are superstitious nonsense is where the science comes in. That and discovering the mechanism by which the old way works. There's a lot of knowledge hidden in ancient wisdom, but it comes encrusted with a thick shell of bullshit.

Zotac did have Zbox's with Raven Ridge in them at CES, though:

https://www.anandtech.com/show/12319/zotac-displays-zbox-ma5...

Besides the consumer Raven Ridge CPUs there are also 2 OEM 35w versions that are downclocked slightly while shaving off a huge chunk of TDP. They are named like 2400G but with an E on the end, ie 2400GE. I imagine if AMD really wanted to put the effort into a 15W chip they could manage a ~2.5ghz quad core with Ryzen modules.

I'm not sure how to answer your question unless you clarify some points for me.

Are you suggesting crypto is harder to track than cash? Most cryptocurrencies are not anonymous. In fact many of the popular coins/tokens have public ledgers - theoretically meaning money laundering, tax evasion, and terrorist funding would be easier to track and prevent etc
Hi there. I'm one of the founders of Humbot and seriously pissed off at the short-term, profit-maximizing way most tutoring services operate today.

Our goal is to enable low and mid-income parents to be able to afford to help their kids in school. We're super early stage: launched our priced tier 10 days ago and have 7 paying customers.

70% of American households earn less than $75k/year. That means, there is little you can do to help your kids do better at school (short of helping them yourself, but many parents lack either the skills or time). You can't send them to a private school, nor can you afford tutoring lessons. Also, if you are in this income bracket, chances are you don't live in a district with a very good public school. Our goal is to bring down the costs from $99 to $10 in the next years so that almost everyone can afford tutoring services. We believe by building internal tools that automate a lot of the tutoring work for our tutors, we can get there.

Curious to hear what you think.

I had to chuckle a bit. So you want some science to discredit the idea?

At the moment, it's refreshing every 10 minutes. I wrote eleven so that the line would be the same length as all the other lines in those instructions. I enjoy making websites a little quirky. I'll probably get rid of that line once the updates are instant.
