I’ve worked for Microsoft in China, our C suite was all Chinese (well, many Taiwanese). The nearest foreigner headed up sales for the region, was a German. Americans were common, but they were almost all Chinese or Taiwanese who naturalized.

Our SVP based in Redmond was also a Chinese (In charge of all of Microsoft Research and advanced research). He would try to conduct our meetings in Chinese, and then would demure to English when a few of us foreigners walked in.
This creates exactly the same set of problems. A CEO has to compete with other CEOs, if they don’t do so efficiently they will fail and another will take their place. A government committe doesn’t have to compete with anybody, if they fail, you just end up with a society that gradually deteriorates. A CEO also has to deal with market forces, a government committe does not. A government committe doesn’t have to produce goods that people want, they only have to align their resource allocation with the central plan, as their country is gradually eroded underneath them. Your argument is trying to have its cake and eat it too, it doesn’t resolve any of the inefficiency of central planning, it just shifts it down the road a bit.

And you can create backups of them

And you can search through the content

And you can carry thousands or millions of them in a single device

And you can add a new one to your collection without having to physically go anywhere to buy

And you can draw and make marks without damaging the content forever

And you can create bookmarks in multiple ebooks and have them all available at the same location, also with search functionallity

And the device you use to read can be lighter than an actual book, at least it will always have the same weight regardless of how many ebooks you carry

There is probably more.
Hmm, complicated? I think JS’ type rules are much more weird and complex than the average static type checking solution.

Seems like apples to oranges, assuming the implied comparison is with western post-industrial age nations, which began industrializing centuries ago, as compared to decades ago with China.
Ants are a good candidate for a second civilization. They live on every continent except Antarctica, they build complex structures, they invented argriculture millions of years before humans did (!), and they live in socially stratified societies. But I guess it ultimately comes down to your definition of what is a civilization.

If we were to find evidence of an industrial civilization before humans we might not even recognize it as evidence, given how different it might be from ours.
I think they need to focus on infrastructure, more than the car. For example, how about installing beacons in catseyes to guide vehicles so the complexity of driving algorithms can be reduced. It just seems like they're trying to solve the self driving problem in the hardest way possible by making a car "see". Also, I don't think the boring company will ever offer the same flexibility in transportation a car will.

Provide incentives and support to local companies to become multi-unicorns (BATs etc).

These companies start investing in other leading startups, scross the globe and have substantial stakes in them.

Then, nationalise these companies and you have then indirect control/semi-control/access over vast majority of leading startups across the globe.

This seems to be a nice move by Chinese government.

I don't know about that. I'm a physicist myself and found his 2016 IAC presentation embarrasing. I wasn't expecting a crewed spacecraft inside the Jupiter radiation belts, nor a 70s artist impression of the surface of Europa. I don't know yet how he's going to shield people inside those empty shells, nor where's the money for the mind-boggling infraestructure you need before all that starts making sense.

But he has a torch and pitchfork fanbase, so we can't really have a grown-up conversation about that.

I've never read any BS authored by Einstein or Hawking, so I can't understand your comparison.
Since when is China part of "continental Europe"?
> whereas this interactive webpage will surely disappear within a decade or two.

If it disappears it will be because nobody kept it up. Not because your web browser is incapable of rendering them in a decade or two.

An interactive webpage can be self-contained. It doesn’t have to load cross-origin resources, it can simply include them in the directory. And if it’s a scientific paper it should have no need to load data from external sources. An interactive scientific paper can absolutely be self-contained.

Anyways back to the main topic, if it disappears in a decade or two it will be because nobody kept it up. For example if it was hosted on some random guy’s domain who eventually didn’t feel like hosting it anymore, etc. But even physical paper-format scientific papers aren’t just stored in random people’s garages, they are also archived by other organizations. So if archives like the library of congress kept their own copies, then you would expect the content to last as long as the library of congress (or other archives) would want them to.
E-readers, for example. The battery lasts far and far longer, they're a lot cheaper (at least 50% of the price), and probably lighter. Source: my own experience with them two Kobo devices.

When it was released, Gmail was on a class of its own. It was free, fast, and had ~1+ GB of storage (and it was increasing every second!).

I know that you might think offering more storage for the same product is not innovative, but here's the thing: Yahoo (pretty much the largest competitor at that time) offered an email service with 4 MB of storage.

4 MB.

It isn’t, but since we were talking about China anyways. Note that many Microsoft employees (as in most big tech companies) even in the states aren’t American, which is already quite different from Chinese tech companies. As for Europe, my colleagues in Cambridge conducted most of their business in English and most of the management was from Europe (not necessarily the UK). We didn’t have much presence in the continent.
If you need to do that a lot then arguably you'd be better off having a variable of 'usize' in the first place.
Isn't this racist ? Why are you saying "diverse" candidates wouldn't be qualified ?

Google is well known, as are many other companies, to have the upper echelons of engineering filled with Stanford grads (and faculty), with their idea of diversity being the occasional Berkeley faculty member that's well liked there. (other companies, of course, have different universities they do this with, although Stanford certainly seems to have more than it's fair share)

So on the plus side, it's not racist. On the down side ...

It's not enough for the buyer to know it's fake, everyone who sees it must also know it's fake, or else the fake is freeriding on the cachet generated by Gucci's marketing.

People buy prominently branded fashion objects for their signalling value more than their utility value. Signalling which is easy to fake isn't very valuable.

It's perfectly possible to think that social signalling using fashion objects is wrong and should be eliminated, but signalling appears biologically determined and is common across many species, it's unlikely to be eliminated without committing greater wrongs.

An e-reader has some disadvantages compared to a tablet. For example, it does not have a capacitive screen and does not have the ability to draw (low refresh rate) or use a stylus as input. It is a great tool for reading and it does that better than any other device (if you agree with its advantages over paper book which is weight vs amount of content) but not for say practice and exams.

It's hard to overstate how good Intel is at what they do. It sucks that they haven't been radically increasing performance like they used to, but they had been doing it for 40 years.

Actually this is not even close to nationalization.

The article's title is misleading even by the standard's of the article, which goes on to call it, "quasi-nationalization".

But even that is misreading the situation.

The objective is not "control" of the tech sector as the article pretends, it is just greater collaboration. So the state and tech companies can both benefit.

The state doesn't want the burden of taking control. Plus they don't want to interfere and slow things down. They want to learn from tech to better their own ogranizations and also to teach tech how they can benefit from working with the state more closely.

It's about greater integration, not control. And since China is so successful at organizing and governing more than 1 billion people already, the more they work with cutting edge tech, the better things will get.

You can say they are making a police state, but at least they can maintain law and order, and are willing to keep thinking long-term and keep innovating even in government. The government wants to support its nation's tech companies. If Chinese tech companies can become the best / most valuable in the world, it will be more advancement toward the great rejuvenation of the Chinese people that China is pursuing.

In the drive to find any negative spin to put on Chinese progress, commentators frequently miss important points, and mischaracterize / misread significant developments. Finding fault is easier, and perhaps more satisfying for someone who is really desperate to feel good about themselves without other reasons to, but seeing what's really going on is more useful.

The flaw is in the language syntax. With a language that allows a lightweight, more general manipulation of flow you just get

Tencent is undisturbed by ads because it’s subsidized by the state to funnel user data back to the state.

Heh, this is a rare situation where this doesn't apply. The point to the leading question in the title is clearly not to refute it, it's to point out the idea that we can't refute it as well as everyone expects.

The point is more "Yeah, there's no evidence for this. But if there was, it would be very easy to miss."
After that destruction, the cycle starts all over again. It is the closest thing to evolution formulated by the Indian rishis (scientists of their time). It begins with (on a high level) the water based living beings (fish), amphibians (turtle), mammal (boar), neanderthal (Parashuram), the perfect humans (Ram & Krishna) and so on. It is quite interesting.

Sorry if you found it offensive.

I'm definitely romanticizing the U.S. quite a bit. At the same time, that romanticization is inspiring (at least to me) and largely true today when you compare us to countries like China, where you have much less control over your future. Also, moving to a country that provides greater freedom and opportunity at the cost of less of a social net and lower taxes will almost definitely self-select for the ambitious.

Slavery also continued in practice in China until at least 1949 [1]

it's kind of a subjective judgment. it's easier to define bad ergonomics, I think -- it's where the way part of the language is designed requires you to write very contorted, strange code to accomplish a task that ought to be simpler.

you know it when you see it. in whatever languages you know, look for places where there's a lot of tedious repetitive typing, and deep nesting that seems frustratingly unnecessary.

if you know Java, working with exceptions in Java has terrible ergonomics, bad enough that people come to resent the entire exception system even though it has many nice qualities.

This is interesting. So, you are saying comparing two vastly different industries - eCommerce and car manufacturing - is a fair comparison? This ignores the fact that car manufacturing is more capital intensive.

Additionally, what about the comparison between capital climates both these companies have to go through?

Amazon taking on debt had their interest obligations reducing. Interest rates started out at 5% in 1999 and then saw going as low as 1% in 2002. Increasing to 5.25 before going back to 1% again.

In comparison, Tesla has been operating under record low rates of less than 1%. The only way from here is uphill.

>Stalin's inability to put food on tables = cause for USSR's failure

I need to clarify something on this point. Stalin's famine was deliberately engineered to kill Ukrainians.

It was not a failure of central economic planning, but actually, shockingly, a triumph.

Stalin confiscated Ukrainian citizens' guns and land, and forced them to work 180 days per year on centrally planned crop attempts. The product of their labor- grain- was then placed on a train and sold abroad at bargain prices. This money was then directed back to Moscow only, and the Ukrainians were left to starve.

I am against central planning. I am against totalitarianism. But the Holodomor was no accident of central planning.

Shockingly, it was the desired outcome.
Also worth noting that China's government policies can create a domestic vacuum for products previously validated outside of China. Google's product and business model can be replicated for the 1.3+ billion Chinese citizens that don't have access.
