Sure, I'll try. Keep in mind that I will only mention the benefits. Read other sources for the disadvantages so that you can make a decision.

* America feels that caring for the environment is important so there are laws preventing companies from polluting "too much". In China they don't have as strict laws. Therefore manufacturing in America is more environmentally friendly than in China. Therefore, it is worth the tax on the consumer to keep the environment cleaner.

* America believes that people deserve basic workers rights that are not offered in China. Without tariffs companies offering workers rights could not compete against those who aren't.

* In the case of a war, China may stop providing American with steel when they need it the most. By encouraging Americans to make steel plants, in the case of a war, America will be able to produce the steel.

* China is very powerful, so much so that they could be a threat to America. However most of China's economy comes from export. Tariffs will hurt America, but will hurt China much more, thereby making them less of a threat against America's world dominance.

* Canada tarrifs some of Americans goods. That is not good for America. By retaliating with tariffs, Canada may agree for both sides to stop tarrifs. (that is most likely not applicable for this case since Trump didn't announce that as his demands)
> For the off chance that once a year they might need to take some extra large load (e.g. help a friend with moving)

This sounds like something a caucasian single person would say.

Anyone with small kids would immediately have to think about the logistics of child car seats plus a stroller/wagon (at a minimum), plus whatever else would be appropriate to bring to the target destination (e.g. chairs and a cooler box for a picnic). Those are certainly not thing people do in an off-change.

Also don't forget cultures with tight-knit families (e.g. indians) where it's not uncommon for grandparents to live with you (and by extension travel with you) as well.
There are employers that top up, to varying degrees, what EI pays out (maximum benefit is ~$500/week, and taxable).
I grew up poor and didn't want to spend my adult life that way. So I got my hands on a used computer and some tools, and learned to code.

> things aren't overvalued if the money supply has been increasing, which it has

If housing prices disconnect and accelerate away from what incomes can support servicing a mortgage, housing is overvalued. If PE ratios start to become wildly unjustified, equities are overvalued. This is regardless of money supply.

Would AR UBlock allow you to replace all the people in ads with people of your choice? So all spokesmen for me could be Gilbert Gottfried in a neon colored t-shirt?
You could just press the mute button. It's not like Amazon isn't aware that some people have privacy concerns.
Have participated in corporate debt structuring before.

Standard terms allow for debtholders to call in a debt before it matures if they have reason to believe the debtor will be unable to pay back the loan at the end of the term. With Tesla's long-standing liquidity concerns, it would be absolutely shocking (and could even constitute legal malpractice for the debtors' lawyers) if the debtors didn't have the right to call in the debt under such circumstances.
React (and its ecosystem) vs. Ember: Objective Comparison
Technically, you are correct, but the spirit of my argument is in disagreement. Driving has a repetitive list of tasks, but unlike an elevator, the "buttons" to accomplish the task are moved around every single time. Sometimes new buttons appear, and sometimes some go missing. It's a chaotic environment. Thus, it is not a repetitive process in my mind, because a chaotic environment is not repetitive. It's like saying "A chaotic environment is repetitive because it's always chaotic".
Canada has the same rules about earning income while on leave.

Usually you lose a dollar in benefits for every dollar you earn.

But if your business turns losses in the first year...
You can also move up the supply chain into the wholesale or even raw materials business (but you need more capital here) or down into actually manufacturing bespoke/custom items (but that's hard to scale).

Ultimately I think you need to actually be passionate about the product you're selling and embrace the community around it.
How many events held to hear someone speak were disrupted last year? You're either pedantic or so uniformed you shouldn't be part of the conversation.

And your specious and slanderous statement that my arguments are similar to those made against the civil rights movement can go to hell. There's a world of difference between walking into a restaurant and waiting to be served versus walking into a speech and coordinating to shout and heckle the speaker so that they can't be heard. And if you can't grasp the difference, what could possibly be the point of discussing this further with you?

It seems like you’re trying to walk back your previous statement without apology or actually turning away from continued ad hominem attacks.
I feel you are actually supporting my point with your post. This is a handful of games released over a number of years. Space sims used to be its own genre with AAA titles. There would be hype, people would be excited for months about a release.

Its just not the same- yes space/flight sims still exist, as do puzzle/adventure games, but they are small niches now when they used to be very popular.
I would be really interested in a distributed job running system with a scheduler. I want a UI where I can set jobs via a schedule that run on one of many workers. In that same UI I want to be able to look at failed jobs and see all of the output from that job. I don't want to have to ssh over to the box where the job ran to retrieve a log file. I once had a job where we used Tidal Enterprise Scheduler which poorly implemented this. What solutions exist for this workflow in the open source world?
> Outdated utilities, missing man pages, dtrace unusable by default due to SIP, etc.

After checking out macOS for the first time in late 2016, it took me until only recently to realise macOS mostly only supports info pages - not man (but to confuse matters, some man pages for certain things like "man ls" do work). Even something as recent as git only offers info pages in Darwin - I'd love to understand why that is.

I've had to run through the "info info" tutorial a few times because the keyboard shortcuts seem neither compatible with emacs nor Readline and they still feel clunky compared to man pages, but I sort of know my way around them now to not have to frequently Cmd-tab back to Safari and figure out which desktop/workspace I've ended up at and how to get back (fwiw, I favour i3).

As for the outdated utilities, I do think it's a little absurd that brew and brew cask are essential add-ons to fetch what should already be present and "just work" (e.g., coreutils).

And better public transport, maybe. With no cars and no public transport, there would probably be no SF Bay Area at all, but a bunch of smaller communities, each with housing and jobs.
They could try to issue new debt. But who would want to acquire debt in a company that is about to be forced into bankruptcy by its creditors?

The second round of debt would be subordinated to the original round of debt, meaning that new debtholders would make back pennies on the dollar, if that.
It's not that every move has a consequence, it's that chess requires you to think about the long-term ramifications of each move. Petty criminals often become so because they lack the capacity for such long-term thinking ability, or so goes the popular psychological theory, in which case chess may be an easy way to develop it.

> This alternative would include technical standards requiring foreign companies to build versions of their products compliant with Chinese standards, and pressure to comply with government surveillance policies. It would require data to be stored on servers in-country and restrict transfer of data outside China without government permission. It would also permit government agencies and critical infrastructure systems to source only from local suppliers.

That is the trend in the EU and US as well. Cyber protectionism, more or less.

To be crystal clear: a nation's critical infrastructure that is produced or designed in places which are neutral or quasi-hostile to that nation is suspect. It's perfectly reasonable for China to want its critical infrastructure supply chain local.

It's also perfectly reasonable to mandate that products sold in China be compliant with Chinese standards.

The open question is what constitutes "transfer of data". And, to again be crystal clear: China is notorious for abuse of human rights and for being at the forefront of applied digital surveillance of its citizens. Which is a shame.

> we cannot take for granted that the internet will remain a place of free expression where open markets can flourish.

The internet has not been a place of genuinely free expression for something like a decade now; platform operators set boundaries. Note that open markets are disjunct from free expression.

> . At a roundtable in Dar es Salaam sponsored by Beijing, Edwin Ngonyani, Tanzania’s deputy minister for transport and communications, explained, “Our Chinese friends have managed to block such media in their country and replaced them with their homegrown sites that are safe, constructive, and popular.” Among other countries where China invests heavily, Nigeria has adopted measures requiring that consumer data be hosted in Nigeria, while Egypt has pending legislation that would mandate ride-sharing companies to store data in-country while also making it more accessible to authorities. Chinese partners like Ethiopia, Sudan, and Egypt engage in aggressive online content control.

Notice that there are benefits here: citizens' data is being stored in a country where they have jurisdiction to sue over misuse. I consider that a Good Thing. But censorship, again, is problematic. The desire to be an individual entails being wanting to able to say and write what you desire, regardless of the government's censorship (and China does have people who want this- it is not special in this regard!)

What's the difference between "bring in taxes" and "costing the public"? It's literally the same thing. Surely you know who foots the bill either way - the public.

Just a warning, maybe you're already aware of it Uber's secret sauce is the network effect bought by billions in subsidies, funded by VCs. The app and tech itself is probably easy to clone, and if no value. Please search for open source Uber alternatives
This is different though - the gimlet podcast is about dropshipping, where you don't keep inventory and are literally just creating a sales pipeline for someone else, and absorbing all of the marketing costs (hint: why would a manufacturer / wholesaler let you do this for them if it was profitable?).

In this case you're entering the supply chain of a product (cut fabric), which end customers cannot do for themselves and wholesalers cannot scale.
Stuff Goes Bad: Erlang in Anger [pdf]
In my experience it is much easier to find someone who can mockup/wireframe well with no coding experience.

This sounds great, why can't we have it without all the bad stuff? The wonderful Ian M. Banks had to add conflict so it would make a page-turning novel: real-life isn't so constrained.
> Branch predictors on various Intel/AMD/etc CPUs work slightly differently from each other, and so even if you had access to the design documents, you would have to write programs specific to each CPU instead of targeting x86/x86-64. Not to mention that microcode updates could alter the implementation.

Sure, though hopefully that's something a compiler could do. What I'd like is to be able to write a compiler that could understand the difference between as-fast-as-possible code (most code) and constant-time code, and build the latter correctly.

> But then there are other places where bugs can hide. DMA Controller bugs, side channel attacks on caches, or basic DRAM attacks like Row Hammer,etc. Letting external programmers access CPU internals is only going to open another HUGE can of worms.

There are other holes, sure. That's not a reason not to fix the biggest hole. We'll fix the smaller holes in turn.

> I can see some kind of vague fraud charge, but is there a specific law that punishes sabotage more harshly if one financially benefits from it?

Not sure. My point is one's odds of being caught go way up if the sabotage is twinned with securities transactions.

Nobody scans for sabotage. Many agencies scan for insider trading. After a corporate event, e.g. an earnings revision or surprise, thousands of automated systems look for trades that were unusually (a) profitable and/or (b) large.

To make sabotage worth it, one would need to enter into trades that are (a) small and unusually profitable or (b) large and usually profitable. Those trades will get flagged by systems designed to catch insider trading. That, in turn, will result in a human trained to spot unusually-clairvoyant trades reviewing the case.

There are many reasonable motivations for sabotage. But for all of them, the gains must outweigh the operation's cost and risk. Short-selling gains don't make the balance.

Becoming proven tech won't necessarily make it better. It will just mean that the failure cases are well known, such as with other tech like cruise control, or anti-lock breaks, or power steering.

For better or worse, our laws acknowledge that being alive has unnecessary risks, and accepting the social order means accepting the standard of risk caused by other people.

Look at the whole casino market. From Las Vegas to video game gambling websites, there is a huge amount of money in there. Now imagine one global casino playable from anywhere in the world and you have the cryptocurrency market. There's no way it's going to stop. On top of that look at religions and how they were created and how they survive mostly from their huge amount of followers. Now imagine that cryptocurrency followers are pretty religious about their "crypto". You now realize it might not be a crazy idea to invest there.

There is massive cognitive dissonance in trying to explain a lot of current events because they are so beyond what you expect to make sense.

Yesterday I was trying to explain to a friend about the children separated at the border and how the parents are then being deported alone and have to apply afterwards to try and find their children, and it took about seven attempts. She didn't understand what I was saying at first because she assumed I must have misspoke, as doing that doesn't compute.

This is a really ignorant thing to say. If you have a hearty revenue stream but no profit, you can tweak the model to make it profitable. Some profits aren't possible at small scales, so having revenue proves you have demand and can lead to safely risking big bucks to get to a profitable scale.
You posted three articles, two of which don't have China in them even once (I crtl+F'd China, nothing), and the third which is titled "China may use Canada as 'Trojan horse' into US market", an op-ed written by Danny Lam, who if you google may as well not exist. I cannot find him anywhere.

I've read all of Banks' SF and for one thing it's silly of the article to criticize based on specifics, he created quite a large, complicated world so obviously Elon can't agree with every specific.

On the points which are most attention-grabbing and wrong or misleading:

To say that "vast intelligent machines oversee..." is true but inside Banks' book/philosophy there doesn't seem to be any "are robots alive" debate. He seems to view any form of sentience equally, it's never a question. So giant intelligent machines are just another form of sentient life created in the image of their creators. They're just powerful characters, not malign overseers.

Also to call it totalitarian is absolutely wrong. There are splinters in the Culture, there are several semi-independant or outsider groups which are tolerated. They intervene in politics but they don't really pick fights, the Idirans came after them and declared war, it wasn't the Culture being intolerant of their religion that's ridiculous. The Affront are a species perpetrating an eternal internal super-holocaust. They're not just "brutal".

The way this is written totally misrepresents the works, I don't think the author misunderstands them it's just poor attention grabbing dishonest journalism.
Successful AR Developer Looking for CV Partner on Retail AR
Over the past year I've had a lot of success with my work in AR: I pioneered location-based AR with an open-source library, which became the most-starred ARKit project on GitHub, and along the way created some of the more notable AR demos, including AR navigation and Bookstore AR. More recently, I've been working on integrating AR into indoor environments, and my recent Retail AR demo went viral, even being featured on Mashable.

My skills are in R&Ding solutions to the technical and user experience challenges involved with AR, and being able to create compelling experiences from that.

CV is a key part of AR, especially when it comes to integrating with real-world environments, such as when recognising products in a store. I've spent a while learning CV, but it's clear that it's not an area where I'm effective, and I feel my time is wasted there. It'd be better for me to partner with someone who does CV really well.

I'm based in London, but open to working with anyone located anywhere in the world. If you're interested in working together, please drop me a message - Andrew@DentReality.com
