"At the end of the day this devolves into tariffs"

No not really, you boil it down to that, but that's simply your framing nothing more. There's also the regulatory environment, so no it's not all about tariffs. There are almost no environmental controls or labor laws in China. So that is a huge factor. There is equal or more possibility that companies wish to avoid the responsibility of ensuring compliance as they do with merely avoiding taxes.

If this is an accurate tl;dr, then shouldn't facebook be liable for even allowing Huawei phones to access facebook at all even over 3rd party browsers? Any information going through any Chinese manufactured device might as well be at risk. All it takes is the Chinese government saying "hey Huawei, add a keylogger if you see the phone is activated on a US carrier".

I'm trying to say facebook shouldn't be responsible.

Personal face to face communication does not cost money. So, the only thing being banned is paying other people to do something for you which does not seem like speech to me.

Further, there are many options out there which don't involve spending money to spread a message. Write a book and you can be paid to spread your message. If don't have the time a YouTube commentator can also get paid as can bloggers etc.

Granted saying ideas that can't spread virally can't spread at all may not be great. But, it does offer some forms of protection and IMO is more in spirit with the core idea of Democracy.

We have debuggers because code is otherwise a black box. Debuggers are a visualisation technology.

7 Force Multipliers Accelerate Your Business Growth
Oranges may have become cheaper in relative terms, but property sure hasn't. In many parts of the world property is more inaccessible than ever before for similar social economic groups.
Admittedly diamonds are not a good comparison, because they're not commonly used for investment and not fungible. Gold bullion is comparable insofar as it's used as a store of value, with scarcity controlled by natural limitations, rather than by policy. I'll admit that gold has some practical uses, such as in electronics, but that is not the primary market driving its trade or mining.

Its use in jewellery I would say is just an extension of its use as a store of value; it is desirable because it is valuable. If we simply wanted a lustrous metal (as may have been an early factor in its adoption as a commonly traded precious metal) we now have many inexpensive ones to choose from -- aluminium, chromium, etc.
Sensors and Mobile Payments Are Getting Indian Women to Use Cleaner Cookstoves
How is getting a VPS and running a git server, then setting up everyone's SSH key and accounts and then setting up accounts on trello and whatever other services you need (How are you doing CI in this setup) meant to be easier than dropping gitea on a server and having everything you need in one place and with a simple GUI.

Sure you CAN use git without a web UI, We had that at work for a while and it was not a good experience at all compared to using gitlab which we have now and we now have so many features that let us get things done faster.

Oh, I couldn't agree more. The whole culture of police behavior in the U.S. would benefit from a dramatic overhaul, especially with regard to mental health issues. I'm only describing how the system currently operates, and some arguments I've heard from first responders about why it's done this way. I never realized until now that all countries don't operate this way, it's food for thought.

Someone close to me had armed police bust into their house and haul them off in handcuffs because they confessed to violent thoughts in an email to a fellow support group member whose facilitator freaked out over it. I think they were put on a psych hold and handcuffed to a hospital bed. It absolutely devastated them and permanently damaged much of their progress.
> You can't replace what works and what has been done for reliability and confidence since 1400 at least by the masters of trade.

I am not sure that is true. Isn't the world full of examples of quite the opposite? Especially because it's 1400 years old an because it was created for pen an paper work. We have computers now.

e.g.
It used to be that companies have a handful of yearly profit/loss accounts and every year they "close the books" by transferring all balance to first profit/loss accounts then to equity. The financial year then starts with 0 profit an 0 loss. Afaik nobody does this anymore. Today you just keep all accounts running (don't "close them) and you generate repots by selecting a date range and let the computer calculate profits and losses for that range.

Besides, most commercial software already hides debit and credit from you. I would risk that most accountant don't know their debits and credits, it's just one of those things you learn at accounting school before you start working in the industry.

I agree one should not write an accounting system without understanding the full details and history of the domain, but I disagree that 1400 year history proves anything. In fact even after reading through the Pacioli Group article I still don't see the advantages. It's only advantage is that it makes it harder to make a mistake on paper.
Oracle Lays Off Java Mission Control Team After Open-Sourcing Product
Come on.... this argument that athletes should make less is ridiculous.
Generally speaking, I have found Atlassian’s tools don’t scale well to megacorp usage. When there are thousands to tens of thousands of users connecting at peak times, stuff just gets extremely slow. Noticeably slower than when we all put up our own team-level Phabricator instances, although I’m obviously not adjusting for Phabricator downtime when inevitably the unofficial team sysadmin went on vacation and the server fell over.

I’m sure people involved in infrastructure are working on making this better, but I don’t have any visibility into that layer.
It doesn't have to be headquartered there, nor a startup to be relevant to the tech scene. Its not like its a small office building or anything, its a giant, state of the art campus that employs thousands and they've already committed to expanding further.

Yes, but the idea that labor and company are splitting a same pie and that with organized labor you will increase that pie is a veiled labor theory of value. It goes contrary to other concepts like increasing profits , increasing capital investment, increasing wages, etc.

> The Economist and the FT often say things which are considered "radical" by popular economic discourse standards, because their readers are interested in what's actually happening while the popular discourse is extremely dogmatic and driven by the right.

I hope Unions don't make a comeback.

The author does briefly mention this, but the countdown clocks are not every accurate. I often see a wait time of "3 min" and then it's there in the next 10 seconds. Or you can see the opposite where it just hangs on "3 min" for a minute or two and was really 5 minutes away. In reality it should just report at its accuracy, e.g., "<5 min" "5-10 min", "10-15 min", etc.

> Imagine I told you that in 100 years somebody of the lowest social class would have what would be equivalent to 10 million dollars today in terms of spending power. That sounds unbelievably amazing

That depends, will surgery for a broken leg cost 20 million dollars in 100 years?

You are talking as if poverty doesn't exist any more, which it very clearly does. A startling number of people in the US live paycheck to paycheck and are at risk of extreme poverty if they lose their job or face an unexpected expense like medical care. People in Flint had to drink water that literally poisoned them. Teachers are walking out of schools because their textbooks are falling apart. On the other hand, you have Jeff Bezos who literally said in an interview that he can't think of any worthwhile use for his money other than exploring space.

You can't exactly blame people for being angry about that. "But things used to be so much worse!" isn't really a counter-argument. Why can't things continue to get better?
Thanks for that, don't forget to change it to conform with the upcoming Tor Browser for Android and ESR60-based alpha releases.
Ah, the old "American exceptionalism" argument. Don't make that one, it's a bad argument.

How about this? Would you rather be in the US, or Japan, for such an emergency? Japan costs half as much as the US per capita (with even lower out of pocket costs), and beats us by every other measure. I'd rather be in the Japanese system than the American one for anything.

edit: The Japanese system, structurally, is very similar to the American system. It's not socialized, by and large. Private insurance through employers to private providers. Yet it costs half as much and works better. This points to something broken in the US system at a deeper level. Expanding on this, every civilized nation in the world has health care more or less on par with the US (fuck exceptionalism), for more or less half our cost. To the chagrin of liberals, "socialized medicine" isn't the obvious solution, because a lot of systems no more socialist than ours work well. And to the chagrin of conservatives, a lot of highly socialized systems also work better. The American system is uniquely fucked up.

Back to Japan. The key difference I can see between the two systems is that Japan has strict price controls. A government commission sets the prices for all medical products and services covered by insurance, with an eye to controlling costs while maintaining profitability. Insurers and providers have to control their costs internally, rather than jacking prices or doing many-to-many negotiations. Is this the key?
> Here in the UK, the police would not routinely attend an ambulance call-out for someone experiencing suicidal thoughts unless there was specific intelligence

This is incorrect. UK police routinely attend for people who are mentally ill because they've been called there by family or neighbours.

Section 135 and 136 of the mental health act (and the equivalent in Scotland) are police powers to detain someone and take them to a place of safety.

But this just strengthens your point: despite this routine use of police for people in mental distress we still manage to avoid killing many people, and when it happens we spend considerable effort to change procedures and policy to stop it happening again. (See the reduction in prone restraint for one example).

Really? If you think that running your customer-facing web app on a certain cloud provider means that provider can inject content, why wasn't Amazon trying to sell me stuff related to the projects I was interested in that were hosted in Gitlab when Gitlab ran on AWS?

And if Google does to anything, Gitlab could just relaunch their containers on AWS (with EKS, or Fargate, or run K8s on bare metal hosts that AWS doesn't have any execution access on, e.g. i3.metal.).

>You completely excluded (sg&a) operational and (r&d) research costs.

The grandparent ignored these, but didn't exclude them. Neither line item is included in gross profit.

>I don't see why gross margin is enough to judge profitability.

While you're right that it's insufficient to judge overall net profitability, it does make sense as a refutation of OP's claim:

>Around 40% of their cash in hand is from refundable deposits, many from people who thought they would get a $35k car

>Tesla cannot make $35k Model 3s at a profit(this is generally accepted, and even Tesla hinted at it), they'll probably lose money even making $42k cars.

They're not-so-subtly implying that Tesla's gross margin on vehicles under $42+k is negative so Tesla would lose money making each unit, and thus those reservation holders hoping for a $35k car will never receive it, depleting Tesla's cash position when they cancel their reservations. It's an erroneous conflation of net and gross margin - Tesla's marginal cost per unit is (presumably) significantly lower than when you factor in fixed costs. That's why we see them making expensive cars first, not because they're precluded from making cheaper cars once they have the spare production capacity by losses on each unit.

In other words, OP is claiming that Tesla's Model 3 strategy is "we lose money on every sale, but make it up in volume," when in fact it's a conventional scenario of increasing volume covering the fixed costs at scale with margin baked into each unit.
Setting up the test data and pretty printing the tree is part of the learning process. I'd say it is essential.

Writing pretty printers for trees is one of the best ways to verify you actually know how a tree works rather than having a superficial understanding of it.

> It's very odd that you have chosen to declare this "improper" and discredit it as a result of your own misunderstanding.

Because that's not the proper way to learn binary trees. I felt I gave good reasons for why. You learn binary trees by building one yourself. That's the best way.

So you use data provided by others. You use pretty printers provided by others. You use implementation provided by others. So what have you learned?

Part of the learning process, especially in algorithms, is creating your own data ( to test edge cases, speed, etc ). Part of learning is setting up your own pretty printer because it sure isn't trivial the first time you do it.

Something as fundamental like binary trees and algorithms should be taught/learned properly.
> Such tremendous progress in just 35 years is absolutely remarkable

No, it's just a product of bad methodology that adopts a operationalization of economic class that is incompatible with the general use of the term. “Absolute income thresholds adjusted for inflation” don't have much correlation to the way anyone defines economic class outside the context of that specific piece of research. The classic definitions of class in capitalist society have to do with economic roles (labor, mixed, or capital); the common modern American use is based around income percentiles.
