The reason why IPO'd companies have higher valuations in China is because the stock market is controlled by the government. So instead of just giving the SEC a number of financial documents to prove you're not fraudulent and getting a stock broker to help you sell your stock, you do all of that and more to hopefully get put on a waiting list. And once you're on the waiting list, which has maybe around 600-700 companies, there might be some 300 IPOs a year. Out of the 10,000+ that want to go public. The Chinese government really cares about how the stock market is performing (up and to the right, right?) and they try to source some of their legitimacy from these economic gains.

In theory, if they let companies IPO when they wanted, supply and demand shows that the price of stock generally goes down. So all the capital that would have gone into other things in the market, like let's say undervalued tech companies, instead goes toward buying a handful of tickers which have inflated value because there's nothing else people can invest in.

Now as for valuations, PE and VC firms in China get a lot of money from the Chinese government which doesn't exactly need to see a huge return on investment since they're more focused on deploying capital in industries which the government identify as important (like AI). And so firms will invest at greater multiples and with larger amounts of money.
There was once this copy-pasta thread or may be it was a capture on 4chan a few years ago where a user remembers a player from an fps (don't remember which). He was a player from Egypt and being 4chan they thought his broken english and odd words regarding the fps fighting in game was entertaining so the author befriended him and added him to his Steam contact list. Around the time of the Arab spring, the friend told the author about the unrest, and that he might not come back in real life. I think he might have made an allusion to the "fight" in game matches as similar to this real fight. The conclusion of the article was the "last online: 3 months ago" tag line at the bottom of the chat box, or some other time period like that.

EDIT: found it[0]. Got the bit about the allusion to the fight in game wrong.

Yes, it just means it is working. There are a lot of anti-war people on Wikipedia. I am personally very very anti war, a pacifist even. But I appreciate the intellectual integrity of being challenged.

When I was first challenged with the arcane rules of Wikipedia I was a little frustrated. But then I realized I could just learn those arcane rules and use them myself. After that it was amazing how many of my edits were able to get through.
I think assuming porn production is intrinsically 'dirty' in a way that, say, a cocktail party with 20 ppl wouldn't be is exactly the sort of prudishness you're claiming is irrelevant here.

Hell, a family with three kids and a gallon of ice cream seems more likely to create an obscene mess than all but the most avant garde of porn (though I don't have kids and have never made a porn, so this is speculation)

Second part of the argument is:

My point is that the original argument is a simplistic argument. Not that US government is the same as China's government.
Ultimately, the root cause is always "you fucked up." At least that's what people always seem to be pushing towards when they start dragging out terms like root cause.

So now you have moved the goalpost to:

>> There might be unfair feedback loops, but they would be effectively negligible.

First of all, it is curious to me that you mention the 8x disparity in murder rate but don't mention that the violent crime survey disparity is less than 0.2x. Secondly, you just claim that the policing has nothing to do with people being arrested at different rates but do not offer any evidence.

Here are the actual numbers if you really care about facts. The victimization rates are 20.5% whites vs 24.1% blacks. Less than 18% difference. On the other hand incarceration rates are 0.7% whites vs 4.5% blacks. That is more than 540% difference. This means the blacks are being arrested at about 32 times the rate at which they commit violent crimes. So your claim that:

>> "we can check by looking at crime victimization surveys, which generally show the same patterns of racial disparities as arrest records"

is not only ignorant and false. It is so far from the truth that it is laughable.
kind of thought it was going to be a letter like 'why the hell you guys still using python' a letdown indeed

If there is a cult of the root cause, I have yet to meet it.

Here's what doing an exercise similar to 5 Why's gets you:

- An understanding of where issues come from. Whether your plan of action starts from the top, bottom, or middle, taking the time to step back and broaden your perspective before you jump in to fix a problem helps to make sure you're going after the right things for the right reasons.

- A culture of _not_ just picking the most expedient and facile solution every time issues come up, and going with that. In companies I've been in, the pressure is almost always on to find the dumbest, hackiest, absolutely fastest path out of trouble. Spend multiple years solving every problem that way, and you are in deep trouble! It takes institutional courage to push back against that, and having a practice in place to force you to stop and think now and again gives you an opportunity to summon that courage.

- A culture of ownership. This seems a little counterintuitive to me, since if you follow root causes deep enough you're liable to stumble onto people and process problems that are way out of your control and pay grade. Looking at root causes this way, you might think it's a process of passing the buck. However, by shining a light on such things, and finding people to address those things where they have no owner, you can push towards a better collective ownership of the real issues that face your company.

No good management idea is free from abuse, of course. You must exercise taste and judgment in deciding how deep to push with root causes, and what to do with the discoveries. I would think it's rather self-evident that 5 Why's doesn't mean you always ask exactly five questions in a strictly linear pattern. But for heaven's sake, make sure you ask more than one!

Entire idea behind posting this was to let developers know something of this sorts being developed in Rust and I found that interesting. I am not the developer for this or involved but a curious developer planning to hack on and learn and contribute. So anything bad that this post would create was not the real intention and may be i think i broke this too early, when things are inprogress yet.
Using allows for type aliases like typedef but with a more readable syntax. Decltype will take the type of the expression within. So the U{} constructs a value of type U and then the func() is called. So func type will either be complete when the struct has a func member function or not. The void_t is always void but only if the template arguments are complete. So when func exists it will be a true type else a false type. True and false type are integral constants that have a constant value member
I've actually some nontrivial progress on xi-win in the past month or two. I still consider it experimental, but it offers basic editing functionality now. It's written basically directly on top of winapi, no toolkits or frameworks, which I'm doing partly because I enjoy tinkering, and partly because I expect to be able to achieve significantly better performance than would otherwise be possible.

Syntax highlighting is not working, largely because I can't figure out how to compile onig. But we'll figure that out one way or another (if it's too hard, we'll switch to fancy-regex, which is pure Rust).

Another example of problematic diagrams in the computing field is the one for systemd. It took me citing one of the systemd developers to point out that it was not in fact an accurate diagram.

* https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Systemd&diff=6311...

I observe that this was again that account that you mention, in 2013 taking someone else's work off another WWW site without attributing the creator (or indeed any indication on that other WWW site, that has no free copyright licence that I can find, that the original diagram was freely licensed by that creator and usable on Wikipedia in the first place), taking it out of its original context, and falsely marking as "own work".

That account maintains a personal version of the article still calling it "The entire systemd software bundle and its components".

I disagree. The compiler knows about possible include paths from the -I directive. Any include is searched using these. There are a few assumed directories on Unix such as "/usr/include", but the compiler doesn't inherently know about "all includes". If you doubt me, do an strafe on a compilation and just look at how it finds headers. It doesn't know anything, it searches the include paths.
You're right. I misunderstood the GP. Thanks.
Please explain why not doing so in this specific example would not be beneficial.

> Today’s dominant approach to A.I. has not worked out.

But "curve fitting" biological neural networks needed 2500 times more architectural exploration and enhancement to get to rudimentary language capacity than rudimentary language architectures needed to achieve all of human knowledge. That suggests we're doing the right thing in growing and enhancing deep neural network architectures now. Evolution suggests the next step to language and reason on the right architecture is comparatively easy.

> 1. You missed a thin red line in the diagram. The diagram is not meant to claim that SDL uses libevdev.

There's an arrow pointing to "SDL input". In theory, it makes sense that libevdev is like libDRM and libasound in being "the officially sanctioned userspace library", but that's not the case -- evdev is much, much older than libevdev and does a lot more than wrap the ioctls.

> 2. Sockets are files. No, they don't have filenames usually, but they do have file descriptors and even inode numbers.

Lots of things have file descriptors and are not files. For instance, eventfd(). Or timerfd(). File descriptors should probably be renamed "kernel object handles". As for inodes, abstract UNIX sockets do not have them. Seriously, have a program make abstract sockets (sun_path should start with '\x00'), then call lsof. The 'inode' field will be 00000000.

It may have changed since I last gave it a shot previously one annoyance I had with Qt was binary distribution. Getting it all packaged up correctly for each platform is much less than straightforward and if your app isn’t FOSS it’s exacerbated by LGPL linking requirements.

I'm not sure it takes us all that much further (for general purposes) than John Stuart Mill writing on causation in the nineteenth century - he did very well creating a philosophical foundation for causation-talk. (And the STPA handbook is excellent, as well.) In any case, Mill is the original source for the modern understanding plural and complex causation.

I had a couple of constraints which made me go with a tool like Pubnub.

1. I wanted to release this to the public.

2. I wanted to have the option of adding support for future socialmedia referrers without releasing new code.

To solve for 2, I chose to create a central server which pushes out up-to-date styling instructions on request. The alternative would have been to create a static css file which runs into issues of caching.

To solve for 1, I chose messaging (PubNub) instead of http to (a) avoid dealing with CORS because I wasn't sure I'd get it right because my infra is selfhosted (b) learn and use messaging in a live app.

> window.performance

That flag is to check if a page is being reloaded or not. Since the referrer http header (from where javascript presumably gets its value) persists across reloads, to keep track of true referrals vs reloads, I check for the value of this flag.
Sure, question away, but if people are supposed to agree with you, you kind of need to supply some data or evidence. Skepticism is more than just saying "nothing is really known for sure" or "people have been wrong before." That argument won't overturn the prosecution's case in a court of law for example. What they test for in court, and in science, is reasonable doubt. Give them a reason to doubt, and absolutely they should doubt. People should reconsider their opinions when presented with contrary data. The problem is that you're not presenting any data. The people you're arguing against, have presented data.

At their peak in 1989 before the Montreal Protocol went into effect (and a strangely coincidental multi-year observed trend began of rising ozone concentrations over Antarctica), CFCs were at a concentration of about 2 parts per billion. 70 years of humans releasing them worldwide could absolutely produce that, especially when you consider the long lifespan of those molecules. And they're a catalyst for the ozone breakdown reaction, not one of the reagents; so like most catalysts, they don't get used up, and like most catalysts, there is very little required in the first place.

The classroom experiment might be leading you to overestimate how much CFC output would be required. Probably because the threshold concentration required for half of people to detect a smell -- let's say of ammonia, like after cleaning something with it, or in your cat's litter box, or near a place where people have been pissing -- has to be about 5 parts per million or 2,500 times as much as the peak CFC concentration in 1989. For ethyl alcohol, that cops seem able to smell like bloodhounds when they pull you over, the odor detection threshold is about twice that, or 5,000 times the peak CFC concentration. On the other hand you can smell hydrogen sulfide at only about 20% of the CFC amount, so hey. Maybe it's not a relevant experiment? Except to illustrate the concept of diffusion, which I already addressed satisfactorily, but now your concerns have shifted like a moving target to something else.

How quickly an answer was found in 1985 has nothing to do with that answer's veracity. If a mosquito bites me in the ass, I figure it out right away; that doesn't mean there's no mosquito on my ass. How long an answer remains the accepted answer has nothing to do with its veracity either, which I think is what you're pointing out, but that also cuts both ways; its longevity doesn't falsify it, for example. If I'm right-handed for 40 years do I start to doubt my "handedness" because it didn't change often enough over the years? Because it's suspiciously consistent?? If anything the opposite happens, and it's the same in the science world: There are many professional, honest and earnest people out there making measurements and reporting the results. And if someone made a discovery that could overturn the prevailing ozone depletion theory, there is every incentive both professional and otherwise, to do so. That person only has to publish their data.
