> This is perspective on at least one major reason companies like Facebook and Google were blocked in China

There is zero correlation between security and being blocked in China. There is a strong correlation between competing with politically-connected Chinese entities and getting blocked / being forced to surrender key IP. The backdoor argument is a red herring.
The implications of a device and connectivity addiction are more grave than that of a Sriracha addiction - regardless of what the definition of addiction are.
Just being able to run a browser gives it a lot of utility at an attractive price point which is comparable to the cost of a nice toy.

Sub $100 makes them close to disposable so you could have them scattered around a work site without much care for security or being careful to take good care of them. They could also be cheap enough for a classroom to afford that otherwise wouldn't be able to make any computing devices available.
I'm guessing this is the main reason lenses like the 600mm f/4 FL VR are $12,000+ (probably every element is handmade/inspected), while cheap plasticky lenses like the 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 VR are $100 or so.

My guess is the cheap lenses are fully automated, using fewer actual glass components, without features like 'ED' glass which requires all these extra manual processes and firings.
My thought is that they can certainly find good indicators that they're related, but that signing into them at the same time directly in their website confirms the relationship. Bear in mind, everything coming from say, a corporate network, won't be distinguishable by IP, and browser fingerprinting is likely less helpful in an environment with a hundred PCs running identical system images.

Your home device may not live in such a family, but it's hard for Google to determine that.

False equivalence. Google et al exist in a system where private actors can challenge the government. ZTE and Huawei are arms of a government which recently devolved into a dictatorship. One can be trusted to, most of the time, follow commercial logic; the other, geopolitical logic.
Read more closely -- it's actually the same price for each of "billed annually" and "billed monthly".
That is more analogous to the current situation, but it’s also irrelevant to the issue of trademark genericization, which the parent of your comment was replying to someone else’s claim about.
This manages to cost less than a Nexdock, which has essentially the same components _except_ a CPU. (You attach it to a PC stick, RPi, mobile phone, etc.)

That's pretty impressive!
This works, sure, but when setting up a new server, you're going to have to remember which package version you want for each of your dependencies. It's much easier to just have a Cargo.toml or package.json and run one command that verifies and installs exactly what you need.

I guess containerization solves much of this problem now, but back when I was heavily into CL, containers were just starting to peek their heads out into the world at large.
The value in SAAS email services like MailChimp is not really in the sending infrastructure. It's in the dark arts of keeping your IP's from spam blacklists and ensuring email delivery rates are sufficient. You'll find that any naive attempt at running your own will be very hard to scale.
If you're not doing it for profit, you're an amateur. Independent would suggest he could still doing math professionally but on a contract or otherwise unaffiliated basis.
It all depends on what you do; I do a lot of software dev on (far) less powerful devices than that. And SSH or vnc etc work fine on low powered systems. I notice that mostly web dev, a lot of (but not all) gamedev and ML does not work at all on this kind of device. But API dev, some gamedev, language dev, embedded dev and a lot more work fine. For me, but this is all personal, I notice I can work on very diverse systems as long as I do not need a browser; browsers are so hungry for computer power that they render perfectly fine computing devices unworkable, fast. Well, not browsers, but the websites they run. For a laptop like this or with even lower specs (the Pandora for instance), I have no issues doing most of my work (which is api, embedded, code reviews and docs) if I have a second device like a tablet, or, ofcourse, two of these, for web browsing.
I wish the Motorola Atrix concept of plugging your phone into a laptop-shell and using the phone's CPU, memory, storage, etc. had taken off. My iPhone is already much more powerful than this ARM laptop, but I obviously can't use it like a laptop.
One of the concerns about strong AI is that, if an AI tried to understand a human, it could end up simulating that human and literally making a virtual copy of them which is complete enough to be considered a person. Build a smart enough AI and from that point on you would never know if you were really you or a simulation being run by the AI.

In the same way, I've always wondered to what degree my own internal models of my friends and family are actually mini-versions of them. Ever wondered how you know exactly what (eg.) your mother would say in a given situation?

I'm no expert but asphalt is bitumen for a reason, and bitumen is blacker than black.

If you were to mix in something in sufficient proportion to lighten the color of the asphalt, it seems likely you'd change more properties than just its appearance, like its durability and water resistance.
Not sure if this will help anything, but I started to have severe anxiety when flying a couple of years ago, to the point where I almost just left the airport right before boarding. This just happened out of nowhere, I flew long haul before without any issues.
This lasted about 2-3 years, every bump was enough to set it off.

But out of nowhere, since last year it doesn't happen anymore, I can fly again without much worry, even sleep again during flights.

Not sure what caused it, or how I got over it.

Why does this have to be so hard? You don't need to worry about EAGAIN or the pipe buffer or whatever. Here's a simple waitable semaphore that never fills the pipe.

struct waitsem {
pthread_mutex_t down_lock;
int count;
int fd_r;
int fd_w;
};

int
waitsem_init(struct waitsem* ws)
{
memset(ws, 0, sizeof (*ws));
if (pthread_mutex_init(&ws->down_lock)) {
return -1;
}
int pipefd[2];
// Instead use pipe2 and O_CLOEXEC if your OS supports it
if (pipe(pipefd)) {
posix_mutex_destroy(&ws->down_lock);
return -1;
}
ws->fd_r = pipefd[0];
ws->fd_w = pipefd[1];
return 0;
}

// This function is async signal safe.
void
waitsem_up(struct waitsem* ws)
{
if (!atomic_fetch_add_explict(&ws->count, 1, memory_order_relaxed)) {
// We transitioned 0->1, so it's our job to write a byte to the
// pipe and wake up concurrent waiters.
if (TEMP_FAILURE_RETRY(write(ws->fd_w, ws, 1)) != 1) {
abort(); // POSIX prohibits failure.
}
}
}

// When ws->fd_r is readable, ws can probably be downed. Does not
// block. (To perform a blocking down, wait on ws->fd_r.) Not async
// signal safe.
bool
waitsem_try_down(struct waitsem* ws)
{
// N.B. We need ws->down_lock to bound the number of bytes in the
// pipe. If we didn't take it, an arbitrary number of concurrent
// waitsem_try_down callers could stall between decrementing
// ws->counter and reading the pipe byte, each allowing an
// interleaving waitsem_up to write a byte and, in theory,
// eventually overflow the pipe buffer. You might think "well,
// waitsem_up() would just block until one of the concurrent
// waitsem_try_down functions got around to finishing its read", but
// you'd be wrong, since waitsem_up() can run on a thread also
// running waitsem_try_down and deadlock! With the mutex in place,
// we can have at most two bytes in the pipe at one time, well below
// the POSIX minimum PIPE_BUF of 512.

// N.B. nothing in this function sleeps, so posix_mutex_lock doesn't
// actually block for any meaningful time. Thus, this function
// behaves as a non-blocking function even though read(2) can, in
// general, sleep.

if (posix_mutex_lock(&ws->down_lock)) {
abort(); // POSIX prohibits failure
}

int old_counter = atomic_load_explicit(&ws->count, memory_order_relaxed);
bool success = false;

do {
assert(old_counter >= 0);
if (old_counter == 0) {
goto out;
}
} while (!atomic_compare_exchange_weak_explicit(&ws->count,
&old_counter,
old_counter - 1,
memory_order_relaxed,
memory_order_relaxed));

if (old_counter == 1) {
// We transitioned 1->0, so it's our job to read the byte out of
// the pipe. We know the byte is in the pipe, so we don't actually
// block here.
char dummy;
if (TEMP_FAILURE_RETRY(read(&ws->fd_r, &dummy, 1)) != 1)
abort(); // POSIX prohibits failure.
}

success = true;

out:
if (posix_mutex_unlock(&ws->down_lock)) {
abort(); // POSIX prohibits failure.
}
return success;
}

// Blocks until we can successfully down WS.
void
waitsem_down(struct waitsem* ws)
{
while (!waitsem_try_down(ws)) {
struct pollfd pfd = {ws->fd_r, POLL_IN, 0};
poll(&pfd, 1, -1);

A good citation for this phenomenon is Amanda Ripley's book "The Unthinkable", especially the chapter on the Beverly Hills Supper Club fire.[1] In that fire, entire tables of guests were found dead because they had come to a group decision to remain where they were, while other tables decided to get up and leave early.

People in emergencies only respond effectively if they've received training and can cope, or if they're being competently instructed during the emergency. Otherwise, they become extremely passive and compliant. That's the role of cabin personnel: to be enforcers and make people do what they say.

I think the counterintuitive aspect of problem solving at that level is how nondeterministic it is.

I'm not sure whether the following thought makes that better, or even worse.

Even the best of pre-college science education is wretched. Chemistry education research describes chemistry education content as "incoherent". There's limited evidence that it's possible to do much much better. But it's hard to create such content, and there's little incentive, so it largely doesn't exist. Even in expensive private schools in states with the best public education.

So one perspective is, if by dint of extraordinary societal efforts, the disparity were eliminated, then science education would achieve... a uniformity of wretchedness. Useful for student opportunity and mobility, but, sigh.

Another perspective is, that if changing technology and incentives makes transformatively better science education possible, it need not follow the existing pattern of disparity. For illustration, if the best lab experience becomes a virtual lab experience, then having a well-stocked lab vs a moldy closet, suddenly matters much less.

Another perspective is, of course, that the pattern could live on (ducktaped broken obsolete VR?), and thus the barrier grow even larger. :/

But in such a transition, there's at least a hope for piggybacking a change in disparity.

Just received this email from Apple about my app(Html, css, javascript snippet editor).

In other words, it appears to be an app that's an IDE for various syntaxes, and JavaScript is one of them.

Otherwise we'd be seeing companies like Apple go after all the smartphone case manufacturers that mention "iPhone" since that's what their product is for.

> No. They aren't. They may make decisions that impact millions of people, but they aren't a government. They may 'govern' the technical details of their implementations... But they are not governments.

They have rules (jurisprudence). They make rules(congressional). And they mete out punishment for not following said rules (executive). They have a standing military to enforce (lawyers in the countries of presence).

Sure seems like a government to me. They certainly aren't ones I approve of.

> It is CRITICAL that no one makes the mistake that these businesses are anything more than the path of least innovation to solving problems.

The answer is, that some of these entities are past "businesses". When an organization resides within 20 countries, and their computing cloud and business infrastructure is everywhere, what exactly do you call that?

If anything, it seems like a meta-government. Or a virtualized government over local governments.

> The tech industry has a major hubris problem. They don't need people mistaking them for legitimate governments to make it even worse.

You are adding "legitimized". Nobody would say that Duterte's government is legitimate. Or the large handful of tin-pot dictators. The Googles, Amazons, Microsofts of the world are indeed governments. But they are amoral capitalist dictators.

> Every person needs to understand that no software product is really a big thing. The reason they SEEM big is the sheer data magnitudes involved. Most of which the layman has no real concept of.

We need look no further than the degradation of ownership (IP), rental versus purchase of hardware and virtual goods, and the "Gig-ifying" of low end workers.
