I am in the middle of starting a business around a product that will get slammed by this. I was going to import the components and have the boards built here.("Made in the USA" labels are huge for my target market.)

Assuming I am parsing all of this correctly it will end up being better for me to have the PCBs assembled into the products in China and not create jobs in the USA.
Too late, when Windows 3.1 was slowly getting adoption?

Outside expensive UNIX workstations C was just yet another systems language.

In those days 16 bit software was still mostly written in Assembly for those that cared about performance, including games and OSes.

On my region of the globe using C on MS-DOS was to bring work home.

At my technical school we were sharing a Xenix workstation between all class, meaning taking turns to seat at it.

On OS/2, Windows, Mac OS and later BeOS, C++ was already winning ground as the main language for application development, even though the kernels were being written in C.

It was the rise of free UNIX clones that helped C turn the tables into its direction.
You said "125% more", which is incorrect.

If you had said "125% of the price", then that would have been correct.
isn't it saying that the loop capacity is 60% of the _current ridership_ of the blue-line? not 60% of an unused maximum. Seems to me the 'loop' would be criticised for being constantly busy & over capacity.
Funny how the activist at these universities cry "institutional racism" when in reality the only concrete verifiable evidence of it is their own institution.

It makes no sense to cry about white privilege when you're actively holding down a race that is on pace and even outperforming whites in higher education and median income, and yet this very contradiction and others alludes people due to their own confirmation bias.
These bikes that end up in the water are presumably not being thrown in by bike riders, but by vandals and pranksters. Is it possible that some of the poorly-parked bikes are also the work of individuals just looking to cause trouble?

Though I like the UW's efforts to improve the situation by creating designated bike-share parking, and having the companies enforce it via GPS, I suspect the long term solution to badly parked bicycles will be for these companies to abandon docklessness.

If you are OK with eating meat, you should be OK with killing animals for a movie, in my opinion. When you eat a steak, you could eat potatoes or something instead, but you choose to eat an animal because you like how it tastes. I don't see that as any different from killing animals for a movie, in both cases you are unnecessarily killing an animal for your enjoyment.
bsder said: "As a licensed Professional Engineer, you have to be quite careful criticizing other engineers. As long as the engineer signing off met "standard practices", he is covered and saying that he is not could get you in quite hot water."

I am disagreeing with the statement that you could get in "quite hot water" by noting that the only liability you are exposing yourself to by stating your opinion is looking stupid. Yours and my opinions on public trust and how someone should conduct themselves is orthogonal to the question.
I don't think it's fair to call UP Express a failure yet. It certainly had a bumpy start, but the ridership seems to have been improving recently [1]

You could read OP two ways. One, that OP is trying to avoid having login credentials for his financial institutions saved in the cloud. Two, that OP is trying to avoid storing a detailed log of their purchase and financial history in the cloud. YNAB4 satisfies both of those concerns (despite what the other comment says, Dropbox is not required, any cloud sync will work, as long as you don't use the mobile app), their new SAAS app only satisfies concern one.

I'm not sure you fully understood the problem or that we are speaking about the same thing. Outline.com is a paywall bypass service that republishes original material found on sites like the New York Times. I expect this service to be illegal, I said so myself in the first post. Outline's terms are irrelevant here, they are the ones clearly breaking NYT's terms.

That being said, I went on a tangent and expressed a political preference that any "Click to continue reading and sell your soul" prompt should be non-binding and functionality to bypass them should be added to browsers via extensions.

New York Times servers are not a public space but the Internet is widely recognized as such. A published article trying to force a legal contract as a result of simply downloading and viewing the text, on my private computer, via a public space, should be no more binding than email disclaimers. Again, this is a political position, not legal advice.
To be a bit more accurate, the judge’s decision was only on a motion to dismiss. So, he didn’t actually decide that there was a contract, he decided that if you assume that plaintiff’s assertions are true, then there could have been a contract. That allows the case to continue.
I’ve seen this a lot. Even people who intellectually know that correlation doesn’t equal causality make this mistake all the time.
Why do you assume that Asians are only good at posting test scores and grades?

Those scores are being talked about because of all the criteria they are the measurable ones, so you can use them as a baseline. Asian Americans do extracurricular activities just like everyone else does.
No. It's not that easy to move. Factories don't work in isolation. One of the major advantages of China is that all the suppliers are located very close to each other so you can get very fast turn arounds. Some people have the mistaken notion that it's only because of cheaper labor, which is only partly true. But in the area where a lot of the manufacturing is happening, Shenzhen, labor cost isn't that cheap because the cost of living has skyrocketed.

This is an old but really insightful article on why manufacturing happens in China: https://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/22/business/apple-america-an...

It's similar to why tech startups largely start in or move to Silicon Valley. It's the ecosystem of VC, pool of talent (Stanford, Berkeley, the other UCs, and tech companies), and existing large tech companies.

This all can change but not overnight.

Wendover Productions did a nice video on manufacturing in Shenzhen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7Jfrzkmzyc (Highly relevant to the big picture and issues around the tariffs)

It's not uncommon for projects to start out that way, and then magically, public money starts appearing anyway.

If this really remains a privately financed project (financed out of the deep pockets of Musk's companies, and completed on time due to Musk's uncannily accurate forecasts), then more power to them!

I can't speak specifically to these new items, but just to give an example, many auto experts came out and said the steel and aluminum tarrifs would raise car prices, but so small it's a rounding error. Typically under $100 or $200 per car.

Point being, people jump to conclusions without seeing the impact on the total cost of goods. Meanwhile dismissing the point, putting more capital into the pockets of US based companies which improves the economy.

The concept of induced demand does not say you can't build your way out of traffic. This idea seems to come up a lot in transportation discussions. Driving a car on a road is not free in either money or time, so when a new road fills up it is because more people are going somewhere they want to go and are pay a cost to do so. Yes, when you build a new road near where there are already traffic jams, the new road gets filled up. This is not some magical thing that with infinite roads people will just drive all day so that they are full. I think most people who use this phrase don't quite understand it. The have learned that cars are morally bad and induced demand is some kind of concept that says building new roads for cars is pointless. I ask you, if there was a way for people to have instant point-to-point transportation that had little environmental impact, would you support its implementation?

The whole point of Musk's tunneling project is that with tunnels you can build as many tunnels as you want without the negative aspects of roads which are mainly taking up surface space and making a lot of noise.
I'll keep amalgamating viewpoints and ideas, as I don't see the usefulness of the distinction so far.

As you say, for the renaissance, the change in viewpoints were caused by the conditions of the time. The power of social change ultimately lies in big changes in the physical world, not in civilised humans and their thinking and arguing.

As I mentioned, that last idea seems to me to be just a covert way to pretend we have any control, when we are actually rather effete and incapable of shaping the world into what we'd like.

You mentioned the western revolutionary sentiment of the sixties in another answer. If you believe Strauss and Howe (http://www.fourthturning.com/), they didn't have a choice. That generation believed whatever humans believe when they are put into the conditions they were in, repeating a pattern with little self-consciousness.

edit: the power of change -> the power of social change
I honestly think everyone is missing some cues Apple has been sending.

They're building their own chip for desktops. Wait... let me hypothesize and break it down for you one time.

One, the recent privacy concerns and backdoor built in for AMD and Intel chips. They riding that we care about your data train.

Two, their homegrown Axx chip is in all new mobile devices. Whats to stop them from making a bigger one or use the same one for desktops? Probably why the new Mac Pro has been delayed as well as other device refreshes. And letting the profit of the under spec'd overpriced Imac Pro fund them in the mean time.

Three, their recent poaching of Intel employees and hiring of linux devs too. I would assume for low level engineering. Maybe even integrated graphics too?

Four, Macs originally used to have their own custom ARM chip, so Apple has a history of being self contained. One of the adages to tech is build, partner, buy. You usually do one until you can do one of the others.

I suspect you will see them release a new desktop(s), running their newly made chip, possibly with integrated graphics like they do now for the mobile devices. Some abilities to upgrade, so they can get you on the over priced upgrades and accessories. Like RAM, HDD, and maybe, just maybe CPU. That last one I am on the fringe with, I know.

Again this is just my observation, and hopefully I can look back on this post some day and either laugh or be like I told ya'll so.

Thanks for reading this post.

That is a different context. As a consumer I don't care about OpenGL. Developers will support whatever newer APIs Apple comes out with depending on their sales numbers. Its a simple cost/benefit.

As a consumer, from a long-term perspective, I would never choose OSX because it has no history of backwards compatibility. So I would never choose OSX for running my line of business applications.

Her face is also peppered liberally in murals and street art in Los Angeles. It's unusual, because no other artist in Los Angeles seems to be particularly celebrated in that way — it's Kahlo's image that seems to be important more so than her art.

It would be interesting to chat with the people responsible for those pieces to get a sense of what they knew about Kahlo and what attributes about her they find interesting. I have a similar hunch that many of the people plastering her face around the city probably actually know fairly little about her.
holy f*. this is the best advice I've ever read on the internet
Something like this happened to me not long ago, but in my car (a good-handling economy car (Mazda)): some asshole in a big Mercedes SUV was tailgating me very closely, pissed that I wasn't going fast enough for him, and he was unable to get around me on this long exit lane. Well the single lane then turned into a ramp, which I took at a pretty fast speed (for a car), as I usually do, and he almost wrecked because his vehicle couldn't handle the turn.

Later, when I was pulling into a left-turn lane and thought he was gone on his way, this asshole intentionally cut right in front of me.

Not something I said or implied. I was purely talking about the responses to the NYC admissions thing on Facebook, the NYC subreddit, etc.

They're not measurable, they just have numbers attached to them. You can attach numbers to a personality test just as easily.

>> I agree that AI's hype cycle is nearing the "trough of disillusionment" stage,

I'm sorry but I never said anything like that. AI is not the same as deep learning. It's deep learning that has been hyped in the last few years, not AI in general. Of course, in the lay press, there is a great confusion between AI, machine learning and deep learning- but I don't see why there should be an assumpion that I, too, am equally confused about those terms.

In any case, it should be easy to dispel any misunderstandings by a quick look at my profile- I'm an AI PhD research student. I would hardly claim that AI is about to fizzle- or even deep learning. What is being discussed in the quote from the original article is the purported arms race to AGI. And how could AI "fizzle" now- when it has been growing as a field for the last 60+ years?

Honestly, I don't see how any other interpretation of the "ambiguity" in my comment can be justified, assuming good faith. I sure had to squint really hard to see any ambiguity at all.

> I was 3 days late on my rent this month and now have to appear in court to explain why i haven't paid. I fully expect that to lead to an eviction.

wow that's harsh. I own a house in the UK when the tenants lost their job but promised one was lined up. They didn't pay for 2 months, then the tenancy agreement was up and I told the estate agents to not renew it as I cannot afford to pay for these people to live in my house for free whilst covering the mortgage.

They refused to move out. Had to wait another month before could start the eviction process. Took 4.5 months to get them out, then they stole much of the furniture that was in the house and perhaps not "smashed" the house up, packed their things up and very hurriedly damaging the house (pulling curtains off + rail etc).

I refused to give them the deposit back, they went to court to get the deposit back and won lol (have to laugh about this otherwise would cry)

I think what happened to us in the UK was too much the other way, but kicking you out after 3 days is harsh.

Don't you have friends and family to borrow the money from?
This article is interesting: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/28/nyregion/new-york-subway-...

$250mm per km in paris and berlin. $145mm per km in Sao Paolo. $130mm per km in singapore. $58mm per km in madrid. https://www.citylab.com/transportation/2011/11/1-billion-doe...

$55mm per mile ($34mm per km) would be pretty cheap, but closer to what the rest of the world pays for subways than what NYC does. accounting for musk-math, expect it to cost more like $70mm per km, which would put it on the low end but not the bottom of international subway construction costs.
Java and .NET do that as well.

On Java's case it is up to the JVM implementors to decide, the spec does not impose OS threads. Hence why you can find the terms green and red threads on old Java related docs.

Also America: "these immigrants' children are too skilled and educated, and it's upsetting our racial quotas. We have to discriminate against them."

America - you can work here, but don't dare dream that your children will be treated equally if you're from Asia. Of course, if you're from Europe your children will be lumped into the white demographic. If you're from Africa, your children may even benefit from affirmative action meant for the descendants of American slaves. Yay racial profiling!

The supreme court ruled that you can use a variety of metrics for admissions. Like hiring you have to try and make a transparent decision, not just "I feel like this person would work well", so everything gets measured and quantified.

I'll be harsh too - it seems that despite travelling to a dozen countries your experience seems to be limited.

Although on paper the earnings in developed countries may seem very high, the structural and unavoidable costs of living may make it difficult to get by.

I've experienced this myself - I moved from an Eastern European country where I had a regular comfy software engineering job to Belgium and financially-wise I'm way worse. On paper I earn than I did back home, but high rent, living costs, various fees and exorbitant taxes eat up most of what I earn. I am able to save much less that I was able to save back home (both relatively and in absolute monetary terms).

In case someone asks: I have moved to pursue a way more interesting job than I could find at home. Money was not a priority for me and I don't complain - I wrote this just to explain how sometimes you can be better off financially living in a less developed country.

Your example actually confirms that - I don't think many people anywhere in the developed world would be able to build up a lifetime of savings in just 7 years of working, even if living very frugally (which you claim not to do). Aren't you getting very well paid relative to local standards?
