Fun facts about the Geography of China
Terrain
China’s terrain is high in the west and low in the east. The average altitude of Tibet is above 4000 meters whereas the altitude of the coastal plain in the southeast can be a few meters high only. This is why the two longest river, Yangtze River and the Yellow River, and many others flow from the west to the east. When people living in east China travel to Tibet, they might have the so-called “Altitude Sickness” because their bodies can’t get acclimated to the change of the height in such a short time.

Rivers
As mentioned above, the longest river in China is the Yangtze River, which is 6300 kilometers long. It is the third longest river in the world, after the Nile and the Amazon River. But these two rivers flow through several countries while the whole Yangtze River is within China’s territory. Another important river in China is the Yellow River, which got its name because of the color of the water. The regions along the Yellow River is the cradle of Chinese Civilization. So the river has got another name, River Mother.

Mountains
After rivers, we come to the mountains. Mount Everest is the highest mountain in China and also in the world. It is 8,848 meters high and is still gradually rising! The summit of Everest is literally the top of the world and the ultimate dream of all hikers. Beside Everest, there are many other mountains in different regions across China. Some of them are famous for their historic heritage while others have spectacular views!
> We went down the rabbit hole a very long time ago, why is it only now that people are starting to realise what it means?

I am not surprised at all. The mainstream moves very, very slowly. You see the same with musical genres. EDM, for instance, took 20-30 years to go mainstream in the US and it is still a relatively young market.
pretty financially irresponsible.

As to your point, making an emotional plea works against you in this case, because there will always be a point where the greater good trumps pure profits.

Take the simple thought experiment that 99% of the world will die in 1 month unless they get treated with this new drug. Would you really argue we should seal it off from the general public.

Now just move the slider to the left (98%) and repeat the experiment.

My point being, there certainly is a middle ground, where regulation and free market enterprise meet when it comes to medicine.
Um, why wouldn't it have been useful to describe it as being found in the original location, in that case? It'd still be noteworthy.
> curiously, seems to be possible to some extent on the products I mentioned

It sounds like you think you've somehow caught Apple out by showing that other systems can 32 bit somehow. Apple know other systems can still run 32 bit. Nobody thinks it isn't possible any more. Apple's own systems can still run 32 bit at the moment.

What Apple are doing are voluntarily dropping support for 32 bit, in order to simplify their code base. There's nothing 'curious' about showing that it's voluntary. They know it is. We know it is.

> Again, I'm just saying that it appears that Apple is in some sense dropping support or some such for some old software

It doesn't 'appear' 'in some sense' that this is what they're doing. You haven't caught them out here. They are dropping support. That's what they've announced. It's deliberate and public.

> Standard in computing: Being able to run old software remains important.

But there isn't really any old software in the Apple ecosystem. That isn't how Apple developers work and it isn't what Apple users expect. There may be some edge cases but in general people developing for and using Apple computers don't care about old software.
I would suggest SBCL if you're going with Common Lisp, although Clojure + libgdx could be an interesting combination.
I think the corporate benefit is free prototyping. Get a lot of people to try a a lot of ideas really fast. See what you like about what they did and run from there.
I also thing that a systems programming language should be a must on for any CS degree. Just so you know how the software is written that underpins/compiles/provides-the-runtime-for what you are creating in a higher level language. It's the link between the software and the hardware that becomes truly evident in these languages.

I’m not buying it. Nothing justifies a 300x markup for drugs. State and federal grants cover most of the research. Drug companies only enter the picture near the late stage and only if it’s a viable project.
> Some of my most valued software is old, for 32 bit Windows, and I wouldn't want to be without it.

But, as you've said, you're not an Apple customer, so this isn't irrelevant is it? Apple customers in general don't work like you do.

> I'd guess that no longer running 32 bit software would disappoint a lot of long time Apple customers

I don't know what to tell you except that your guess is wrong. The vast vast majority of Apple customers don't need to run old 32 bit software, and Apple optimise for the well being of the majority of their users.

It was happening. Many companies, Tesla including, gathered a lot of data for training the system.

The problem is that you cna only learn so much without actual practice.
> So probably a macOS 10.14 could show up in a couple of months at WWDC without 32bit app support

I don't understand your reasoning.

They're implicitly (but strongly implicitly) saying 10.14 will run 32-bit apps. What's uncertain is what "compromises" they'll entail.

Even Apple wouldn't drop all support for 32-bit apps with just a few months' warning. They're ruthless about moving forward, but not quite that cruel.
Putting all this effort into something which most likely will not come to pass in your or your children's lifetime is not constructive and will eventually sap the energy and resource needed to stay 'prepared'.

May I suggest taking up a lifestyle at this time and more or less in the place you are - assuming you're not in some jam-packed city where all hope is lost the moment society does break down for some time (New Orleans during Katarina is a good example of what will happen)? If you do live in such a place and will not consider to move out of it this won't work but if you have some space around you which you can call your own it makes sense to start using it in a productive way by growing something useful.

Dig a well if you can, a dug well is more reliable than a deep-drilled one as you can get water when the power fails (which it does quite often where I live out in the Swedish countryside thanks to storms or careless snow plough drivers and such).

If you don't live in a forested area you can start planting trees on less productive or hard to till soil, you'll need between 2 and 4 hectares to keep a house with around 200m2 of living area warmed to today's standards, less if you make the wise decision to lower them a bit. This does assume you have a wood-burning stove and cooking stove, of course - get those and use them regularly. Plant some fruit trees, berry bushes, a plot of potatoes (which you'll have to move around year after year as you should not grow potatoes in soil which carried them the year before or the one before that), root vegetables, easy stuff. For fun and profit you can add hops which will allow you to brew beer if you can get hold of barley - you could grow it yourself but it takes a lot of land and is a lot of work if you do everything by hand. Just make sure to think in practical terms, you're not trying to relive some Swiss Family Robinson fantasy but trying to live in a way which makes you and yours less dependent on the intricate workings of society, irrespective of whether any doomsday-scenario ever comes to pass or not. The less dependent you are of the trappings of 'modern' live, the less you'll suffer for the loss of such.

I saved the best bit for the end: you'll most likely be happier in the here and now by becoming more self-reliant and less dependent on 'modern' society and its... lures. That does not mean you have to become a Luddite or back-to-the-land hippy, it just means you won't feel lost by not being part of the herd which follows the latest craze, sports the latest gizmos and relishes in the latest fad. It also means you won't need to think about 'prepping' anymore, just like people who cycle to work won't need to think about going to the gym to get some exercise as they made it part of their normal life.
> it's hard to think that a rising tide of neo-Nazis would escape the notice of a group of reasonably educated, establishment liberals

It's more likely that a bubble of "reasonably educated, establishment liberals" would not understand the grievances of another group of people, and perceive them through the lens of "a rising tide of neo-Nazis", othering them and directly creating conflict, rather than understanding them.

This is how the filter bubble actually works. It's not that the information doesn't come through; it's that it comes through a glass darkly, at high risk of alienation from people holding out-group views.

If, for example, you think that people who don't like change in the social composition of their community are morally wrong for feeling uncomfortable, you're going to push for cultural movements that demonize them. And that makes the problem worse; it amplifies conflict and widens the cracks in society.

There are multiple self-coherent but mutually incoherent views on how society should be structured. As I get older, I find myself feeling less strongly about one view versus another. I am most suspicious of those who believe they have found the one true view; their zeal for change isn't tempered by doubt. No matter which coherent perspective you have, you won't succeed in moving people with other perspectives if you don't acknowledge that their perspectives are also coherent. Your best bet for achieving change is reframing that change within the perspective of those you're trying to convince. Saying that the people you're trying to convince are evil because their view is wrong won't end well.

No. For that you need a better type system. Linear types show great promise for this.
He played Max Headroom in the Chrysalis/Channel 4 film as well as the UK and US TV shows. The UK show format was more news/political satire, where the US TV was retconning the film and moving on with character development. The TV show wasn't horrid as I had expected.
They didn't use carbon-14.

"Groucutt and the rest of the team used a number of dating methods to confirm the likely age of the Al Wusta finger. For the finger itself and the tooth of an ancient hippopotamus found nearby, they applied U-series dating. Like radiocarbon dating, the method works by looking at radioactive decay in the preserved materials. The age of the sediments around the bones was calculated using optically stimulated luminescence—a technique that reveals the last time rocks and sand were exposed to sunlight."
The same way those 32-bit libraries call the kernel now - they marshal the call to 64-bit land. A lot of the user space is compiled separately for performance and to maintain ABI compatibility so this would have to be taken up by a third party. I would expect to see a slowdown but it depends on the exact nature of the changes.
Really excited about this.

That isn’t the alternative. That’s the status quo. Name another cure to a chronic illness that’s been developed. You can’t unless you go back to penecillin.

The pharma industry makes money by not curing disease and treating the symptoms. They want people to be addicted to their pills. Curing a disease means you can stop taking the pills and stop paying for them.
I think all these Gaming on the Mac or developed on the Mac, all happen when Steve Jobs wasn't in Apple.

I wonder if Steve Jobs was ever a gamer. He worked in Atari, that should means something? It seems right after Steve Jobs came back the one thing he decide not to focus on is gaming. And ever since then Apple hasn't been in gaming community at all.

Apple now, is possibly the largest Gaming platform by revenue, most of those App Store revenue, my bet is that 80%+ are from gaming. But this wasn't because Apple thought Gaming was important, there simply had the Software infrastructure and best hardware in place. I wish they could do the same for Mac, but then again, I dont see Apple cares about gaming at all.
A bird probably wouldn't have carried it far, which would be evidence of human presence nearby.

I'm afraid I don't fully understand the question; would you care to try rephrasing? Anyway, as to what I seem to understand:

- "capabilities": ok, I think I get the misunderstanding. The "capabilities" here are completely unrelated to "hardware capabilities" or "machine capabilities", a.k.a "what features does my phone have". The word has a totally different meaning in the technical jargon of OS development. It's a security architecture concept; as a first approximation, I'd say "capabilities" are somewhat akin to "permissions" on Android/iOS. You could maybe call them "permission lease": as an app, if you got some permission ("capability token"), you can choose to sublease/share/extend it to another app you run. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capability-based_security

- microkernels are a general architecture approach; they can perfectly well be used for regular server/desktop OS. It's just that writing a new OS for an embedded system is easier as a "first step", because you can start smaller. A full-blown "general purpose" server/desktop OS is much more complex; enough to say that it must have very wide driver support for shitloads of different hardware existing in the world. (But there are also other challenges, like multiple user management.) Microkernels were long believed to have worse performance than monolithic kernels in popular perception, thus their historical unpopularity. However, this notion was challenged by the L4 kernel (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L4_kernel), which was I believe the reason for the revived interest. L4 was apparently published ~1993, and there was QNX long before that; I'm not actually sure why it hasn't become more popular earlier. Maybe unfamliarity to programmers? I believe microkernels enforce somewhat stricter development standards than monolithic kernels (where it's probably easier to "just hack around" and duct-tape a new feature), thus probably raising the perceived development costs somewhat (I believe it's similar as if we compared e.g. Rust vs. C/C++).

edit: ah, a good example could be the L4-based L4Linux (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L4Linux) kernel, which is said to be a more or less "drop-in" replacement for the "classical" monolithic Linux kernel, so you should be able to run any Linux distro on it. Though I personally never tried it (yet).

The GenodeOS folks are also working towards building a usable "general purpose" desktop OS based on a microkernel, see e.g. chronologically:

- https://github.com/genodelabs/genode/issues/1552

- https://github.com/genodelabs/genode/issues/2018

You should have a reason for that. Just feeling terrible might mean you're inside an echo chamber.

Most people support eugenics in the form of outlawing incest because it can lead to faulty offspring. We also think treating neurodegenerative diseases is a good thing. Most parents also hope their kids will be smart. Or at least they don't hope for the opposite. Women don't like to have kids past 40 partly because of higher risk of Down's syndrome. And there's a test for that which can help them decide to abort the baby. All these things are us trying to make future humans smarter, mostly by eugenic techniques.

Maybe you're thinking of actually killing people? That's not quite the same as selective breeding.

No, this is the common lie they tell you.

The majority of money spent in R&D is public money. When they say "It cost $10 million to develop" it doesn't mean that's what they paid out of pocket. Most of it is research done at universities through grants.

My wife was treated for MS using a cancer drug developed in the 50s. If you have cancer, the drug costs about $20. If you have MS, the drug costs $450,000+ (that was my bill). The only difference is FDA approval.
