That is actually rather clever, and will probably work for many smaller US manufacturers but it will still cause them to have to raise their prices slightly, as there is now another middle man they have to pay.

However enterprises like Apple will still find it cheaper to move to China.

VC may be reluctant to invest in such startups due to the fact that the current administration has been, how shall we put it...inconsistent? They are just as likely to revoke the tariffs in a month as they are to change the goods covered under it or expand it. Either change could make such a startup completely obsolete in no time at all.

"At most, [the fighting words doctrine] allows punishment of face-to-face insults, directed at a particular person and likely to cause an immediate fight."

https://legaltalknetwork.com/podcasts/make-no-law/2018/01/fi...

That's a podcast with transcript from a free speech lawyer discussing the fighting words doctrine.

Again, you're super unclear about the exact scenario you're imagining. But the only way that you could be punished for saying "I am going to murder you" under the fighting words doctrine (instead of the true threat doctrine) is if you said it face-to-face with someone and that person was likely to punch you for it.

It is certainly not the case that if you made some statement like "I think you should die in a fire," online and then someone else that you had never interacted with attacked the person that you spoke to, that the fighting words doctrine would have anything whatsoever to do with any case against you.

But America does not produce all of it's own rare earth metals so manufacturing some products without also increasing raw material production could be an issue - if our goal is to decrease reliance on other countries.

We have domestic rare earth metal resources. Right now, we don't mine it here, because it's too expensive to get rid of the resulting Thorium. If there was only a market for that stuff...

I think you misunderstand. Whatever extra appeal you have to potential partners from having other people who "chose you (among others)" may be effectively negated because you're unwilling to abandon those others for the new partner. The people you attract probably don't want to share you.

Honestly I generally don't want to do my entire development on a Web IDE, but I do think it's very useful for a repo hosting site to have editing tools, as I often find myself wanting to fix something quick away from my setup.

Web IDEs in general are a great concept though, mostly because developers generally love having their editor customized the way they like it, and from there, having it in the cloud accessible from any computer is a huge win. That being said, it's hard to compete against the plugin model that Sublime/Atom/VSCode have.

Thanks for the clarification. As you say though, this will likely stop further domestic assembly operations from being established. It will be business as usual for the big players who do assembly in China, the rest will be encouraged to move them back there. In no way does this seem like it could have the intended effect.
I've made a lot of small changes to projects using the Github editor. If you've come across a project with a small change that you need it's great and easy to just press edit, change a few lines and commit. Then you let the CI server run the tests. Pretty frictionless.

Editing multiple files is a pain though, you'd need one per commit, so this seems to solve that for me.
> It's almost as if Docker has to start and run in a VM on non-Linux systems.

Just as an FYI, that's no longer true for both macOS (xhyve) and Windows (unknown underlying tech, but compiling and running dockerd behaved reasonably with the exception that one could only run Windows docker images). In fact, IIRC, even Docker for Mac uses xhyve, so only docker-machine folks use the VM-based solution

Awk works great in pipes on the commandline, unlike Python where you would be writing a multiline script to accomplish the same task.

My 99% use case is extracting particular fields from some input stream.

That's a tremendously common problem and awk is the best tool for the job.

I once started diving deeper into awk and there is an impressive amount you can do with it, but I hit a point pretty quickly where it would be cleaner to write the script in a more traditional language where my successor won't be cursing my name for writing something complex in an obscure language.

The whole boycott was nonsense anyway. Microsoft has only agreed to buy GitHub; they can't actually buy and own it for about 6 months. So even if you had a legit fear of Microsoft, why would you even bother yet? Anything of importance on GitHub is going to take a while to move over anyway which is why I suspect the majority of these "moves" were people moving over repos that no one cares about.

Microsoft's cloud business is up and coming and is already worth many billions of dollars. They are not going to jeopardize user trust, which could harm Azure, by messing with your little GitHub project.

If it makes you feel any better, the more canon ending would likely be that brutal and painful given how the books were supposed to end the story of Geralt and Yennefer. Even the full trilogy ending seems to mock the player for being desperate for a completely “happy” ending - even that one can’t possibly be the happiest thing for Geralt if you ask me because we have lost so many good friends / colleagues probably to get there. The fact that the writers don’t even dwell on these losses too much actually makes the losses more brutal - you aren’t told how you should feel telegraphed in any way. Part of what makes the series so engaging is very similar to what made the Sopranos on TV so good - it is actually following the ups and downs and successes and failures of an active, dynamic life. I believe this was described by Kurt Vonnegut as such anyway.

Or Charlotte

That's getting to be a joke. My dad lives in a suburb (about 20 miles away) and it is so built up with new housing there are constant traffic jams everywhere. They have improved some of the roads (they are constantly working on them), but the number of new houses going in far outstrips the capacity of the roads. What used to be drives of a few minutes now, during the day, are often 30 minutes to an hour. None of the local cities are willing to deal with the issue, so it's just going to get worse and worse.

I think you've said two different things here.

> A loss leader doesn't need to be sold below cost, only below its minimum profit margin.

I think that's an important point, in that you're saying that it's incorrect to consider only the cost of ingredients, rather than the entire cost of delivery (including cooking, labor, etc.).

On the other hand, as the parent pointed out, they're not a restaurant, so their "minimum profit margin" for this particular activity is zero.

As such, they can afford to do it, at whatever volume, indefinitely.

> Leaving money on the table is effectively losing money.

This is the different thing, since it has to do with what the market will bear and not with what it costs them.

The distinction is important because a business can, by this definition, "effectively lose money" while still making a profit. That's good enough for some people.

What’s Really Wrong with WikiLeaks (2010)
I mean, personally, I hold them both to the same standard of professionalism, as they were both "c-levels" within their company. He's more than a developer, at that point, so airing of dirty laundry comes off as kind of a petty attempt at "bringing the other guy down with me". Especially the times where he was posting direct snippets from their private emails, then a sinister sounding summary of the rest (but not the actual content of the rest, meaning he's probably twisting some words).

I think both sides are acting really shitty here, I wouldn't want to partner with either of them in any future endeavor.
People ask me "What's the pure play in self driving cars?", and I always shrug my shoulders and say "Sorry, there isn't one". Maybe that will change.

The rumour is that Alphabet has invested $11 billion into Waymo to date, and the order for 80k robotaxis to be manufactured by Jaguar and FCA will probably cost them somewhere in the ballpark of $10-15 billion. So the while the $2.5 billion Softbank investment might seem like a lot of money, Cruise is going to need a lot more capital if they hope to go head to head with their chief competitor.
The US is a bigger per-capita polluter only because the average Chinese "capita" can't afford to (or otherwise doesn't for some other reason, but knowing Chinese living conditions, I'd bet affordability is the main factor) do/buy/use nearly as many pollution-causing things as the average American "capita".

As a specific example, the US is (according to Wikipedia at least) second only to San Marino in vehicles per capita (910 for every 1000 people). China is in 73rd place, with a much more modest 154. Electricity consumption is similarly different, with the US' per-capita electricity consumption being triple that of China's (despite China having almost double the total electricity consumption of the US).

If the average Chinese had the same purchasing power as the average American, I can guarantee that China's per-capita pollution would skyrocket to beyond US levels.
Which is all the more sad, because his base is so stupid they don't see it does them harm. Depressing!
So the US won a war, withdrew, and then abandoned their ally.

Which is crazy.

This is complete nonsense. Microsoft has actually _contributed_ to Git. But even outside of that Azure makes them a metric fuck ton of money. They need developer support to continue using Azure which also means Git integration.

They are not going to slowly change git to the point where no one else can use it. Git is opened sourced, by owning GitHub they still can't control Git anyway.
There was a bit of victimhood in the narrative, particularly around the extramarital affairs. That was my ex-wife's favorite film so I've seen it several times, and I finally deeply read about Kahlo (the Trotsky story especially intrigued me), and the impressions and conclusions I drew regarding some of the portrayed events didn't jibe with how I interpreted them in the film.

Even without considering historical accuracy, after a few viewings, it becomes clear that the film is not well made despite Taymor. I think at the time it was an awards darling because, though it seems much more pedestrian now, a studio system film about a female Mexican cultural icon was even more unlikely to see the light of day then. I remember discussion around it highlighting its progressive nature, so that likely framed reception of the film, despite the occasionally clumsy script and at times loose interpretation of the subject matter. To be honest, when I saw this link pop up on HN, I immediately thought of the film as an example, rather than the Barbie (which is even worse, but oddly, I can't verbalize why).

As for Weinstein, that attributed pull-out quote, if accurate, stands alone to demonstrate thought behind the portrayal. I'd say it's fair.

Many figures are tough to interpret beyond death, to be fair, and maybe we're all wrong about her. Who knows. Arguable she'd find us discussing it amusing.

Your link is a level-headed explanation of why there isn't clear video showing the plane hitting the Pentagon. But I'm not sure what you're trying to say.

If you're saying that some people believe in crazy grand conspiracies, well of course some people do.

If you're saying that the government does not withhold information and doesn't manipulate or massage the information given out, then the link above doesn't support that point at all. People had to fight to get those grainy Pentagon videos from outdoor cameras mounted in a public place. Although some bits were leaked, the government didn't formally release them for 5 years!

And there is an enormous mass of data and documents that they still haven't released. It doesn't mean that there is any kind of conspiracy -- it could be the usual incompetence/bureaucracy/laziness, but some of it could be due to covering up capabilities or technologies like with those cameras on the Lunar Orbiters.
I agree that the sound could be useful at times, but it was awful when booting a computer in the middle of the night to respond to a page; that sound could wake up everyone in the house, and i couldn't figure out how to turn it off.
awk is also interesting because it's not just a language, it's a "model". It isn't something that you can't write with some lines of any other language but, because the loop is embedded, makes it easier to write utilities for the command line.
