I'm not necessarily saying that the report is false. More that lots of things have to align in order for this to end with Micron losing significant market share in China. The report has to be true and the injunction enacted and the injunction has to hold up for an extended period of time.

Will be interesting to see what Micron says in the coming days. No doubt they would have to publicly address it if they were served with an injunction.
I wonder how they use the site. Or if they do. Or if they have some internal tool.

"A regional government asks: which industry sectors are we already comparatively good at?"

Nothing. Most regions that don't already tilt toward a particular specialty dominated by a few large employers aren't specifically good at anything. This isn't a slight: it's just reality. The employment and talent base in most areas tilt toward retail (overwhelmingly consisting of national chains, and dominated by the likes of Walmart), human services (healthcare, education), and government. Small businesses then cover a wide gamut of services required for daily life, but don't stand out.

There are very regions whose competency comes from a convergence of independent actors, and most of these seem to focus on healthcare research intertwined with healthcare delivery, because the products, talents, and facilities aren't readily transplanted elsewhere: the article's example of NC Triangle, central Maryland, Cleveland, Grand Rapids. Rochester, MN would get an honorary mention, but it's dominated by a single actor -- the Mayo Clinic.

So what's everyone else to do? South Carolina began an ambitious plan that culminated in landing BMW in the 1990s, and now the state is a major center of automotive manufacturing and related businesses. For them, the gamble, even with generous incentives, paid off. This is the same kind of thinking behind northern Nevada's (and Arizona's) chasing of manufacturing and high-tech looking to flee from California. Rural areas chasing datacenters might seem a bit puzzling, but they support a comparable number of local jobs, while having fewer externalities than trucking distribution centers -- another typical rural development opportunity. On the other hand, the scope of the subsidies in the Foxconn plant and the nature of the behavior of Wisconsin officials are unjustifiable: it shows desperation, ruthlessness, and a disregard for local residents and local economic realities. Most cases are not that egregious.

A jurisdiction landing a large-footprint warehouse-like building, like a datacenter or a distribution center, or even a Walmart, offers a short-term boost of jobs in construction, and then a steady, if low, number of jobs in years to follow. It also vests national or international corporations to the local plant: these sorts of sites are unlikely to close or move. A few million dollar subsidy is comparable in cost to grading and paving roads for a new subdivision, or installing water and sewer service. To cities and counties competing for the long term, this is often seen as an investment in the future of the area.
I doubt it costs 2% of the cash value to store and secure it.
A train's emergency braking system is somewhat sacrificial (using it can damage engines, cars, etc.) so you're probably correct. I'd say that in either case, most people who are not "train people" will dramatically underestimate the required stopping distance. The mass of a fully loaded train is surprisingly large.
Digital communication is not inherently substituting human contact. It can be used to augment our relationships - organizing meetups in real life, and keeping in touch with long distance friends. It can also help you make new friendships in real life, or online-only. Online-only friendships are not a problem, as long as you have IRL friendships also.

4. It took a lot of clicks to see a content. There might be an expand / collapse but I had a hard time finding it consistently.
Scratch was amazing - someone I know is taking the class today, and it was so cool to build a game where a wizard moves up and down the screen and shoots lightning at a knight in pimp armor in 10 minutes.

My Lessons from Interviewing 400+ Engineers Over Three Startups
I disagree. Mao said "power emanates from the barrel of a gun." Force is all the state knows and government at all levels has grown enormously since the 1950s and is now an unruly beast. The people are not speaking with one voice, but if they did, and there was a real threat, the bureaucrats and the pols would listen. They are spineless opportunists, after all.

> most people are treating Labour as if it were the Remain party. This confuses me.

Yup. Treating May as some sort of extreme "hard Brexiteer" is even more hilariously silly.

Labour is the nakedly opportunistic promise-everything-to-everyone-if-it-gets-us-into-power party at the moment. One important point to remember is that the Labour membership and the traditional core Labour vote are very, very different things. The membership, massively skewed by Momentum entryists, is heavily Remain.

> I have not seen evidence to convince me UKIP voters voted tactically to prevent BINO

I'm not convinced of it either, I just find it plausible as a hypothesis. Particularly since May was a (lukewarm) Remainer while Corbyn, despite bowing to pressure during the referendum campaign, is a lifelong Eurosceptic pitching a manifesto which depends heavily on getting out of the EU. State support and renationalization in particular are banned under present rules.

Many people with disabilities who actually rely on protections afforded under the ADA would disagree with you. The ADA actually requires employers and other public places to make reasonable accommodations: https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/free-books/employee-...

Regarding your condo building: separate is never equal. Requiring people with disabilities to only live on certain floors is discriminatory. Disability is perhaps the only minority that anyone can enter into at any time, through no action of their own. You can't say that you don't need to worry about accessibility of floors where there are no wheelchair users, because you can't predict who could need one in the future, when or why they will need one.

What other people think of you is also an enticing reward. Getting to platinum rank by cheating has advantages.

Additionally, you earn cosmetic items, and you can earn them at a faster rate with less effort by winning consistently.

Finally, some people simply enjoy winning, and only turn their cheats on for a "comeback."

An additional issue is people running bots that passively and extremely poorly play the game, but just active enough to not sound any alarms. They grind out a bunch of ranks by losing constantly, get some good equipment built up, and then sell them.

Late response, but I think it has to due with social pressure. You may meet the host in person, and feel bad about giving someone you know "personally" a bad rating. Additionally, they are also rating you as a guest, so it may be awkward if you gave a bad rating when they give you a good one, so people skew the ratings up.

> "The question should have been "how do we prevent rural flight?", that is, "how do we keep rural and small town residents from moving to likely targets?"

That had already been addressed by dust-bowl era ag policies. Until the 90s, farmers were subsidized even harder than housing. So, money already flowing to keep the rurals in-place, an interstate highway system under way, cheap money for residential, and preexisting racial tensions. Without the benefit of hindsight, that looks like a fairly sound recipe for migrating people to the periphery.

> "If you want people to survive a nuclear exchange, the you should set up the infrastructure so it has a dual-purpose use once things like gas and groceries are more dreams than anything else."

In a nuclear exchange, job #1 is to not get vaporized. Gas and groceries are much further down on the list. As for why there wasn't a more coordinated plan instead of cheap money, it's the USA during the red scare. Getting too specific looks too much like a "five year plan".

> ...Instead of subsidizing the existing distributed population, we subsidized living in more centralized target zones that were less robust to even pre-nuclear fire bombing.

That is not the pattern I've seen in any major US city. Until the end of the cold war, and especially in the southeast, there were tree-rings of suburban pushes radiating from the city centers. Rural became suburban, wilderness became rural, city centers decayed. Then, with the fall of the USSR and the "peace dividend", one huge reason for suffering suburbia had been removed. Guess when urban renewal started taking off?

As for racism and capitalism, that's your biz man. I'm not disagreeing with it, just not particularly impressed with it as a cause. It's like if I had a headache, and my doctor told me it was because I have a pulse.
Windows has been attempting to get this working well for years, and for the most part it was horrible. But over the last year or so I've found arbitrary DPI scaling on Windows has worked very well, at least meeting my expectations and being more flexible than Mac's implementation. Mac took the less painful route but at this point Windows might finally start having the advantage here.

It makes sense for Iceland to be in the US/NATO orbit. If there were a European/Russian conflict, they'd be a bit too strategically valuable for Russia. Given that's the only major geopolitical impetus, they're still in a good position to do financial stuff with a large part of the developed world.

"What is surprising is that more open, transparent architecture prompted such a substitution."

Why is that surprising? You removed offices so of course people don't talk anymore - politeness dictates that you don't want to interrupt other people.

And performance declined, which they blamed on switching to email rather than talking, while ignoring the even more obvious: now every time your coworkers have a conversation it interrupts you.

The use of cubicles and open plan has been shown in every actual study to have a negative impact on performance.

I have friends in open plans, and literally the best thing I have heard is that if you get the right place there isn't that much distraction.

My opinion is that if managers and executives are convinced open plan is "better" they should be placed in an open plan environment for at least 12 months before /any/ employees are moved into it. Of course that will never happen because the real purpose of open plan is to make sure that non-management employees know their place: they [and their health] are not individually important, and are just fungible units that can be replaced at will.

enlightening is the right word.

it isn't that his characters are interesting. they're multi dimensional but still mostly without an engaging personality (with the exception of the doctor from inversions and cheradenine zakalwe from use of weapons).

it isn't that the universe is very interesting. it's a basic space opera setup with a few quirks like sublimation that are mysterious but ultimately irrelevant. likewise, the plots are fairly boring. group X clandestinely does Y because Z; the end result is typically a tiny nudge in favor of group X's agenda.

but the ideology and technology of the Culture -- there's the entire value of the series. all of their technology is thought-provoking because it asks the question of what society should look like if such a technology could plausibly exist. likewise, the Culture's "system of government" is a great thought experiment on the best possible interpretation of anarchy. banks sets up plotlines to contrast the Culture against a number of other systems of government, and captures the failures of those very effectively across a huge swath of different contexts ranging from gender relations to art to pleasure to resource distribution. the Culture doesn't always get a favorable rating, either -- and so banks exposes the contradictions implied in societies.

fascinatingly, banks captures the essence of the Culture in a way that few other writers can do with any concept of such complexity. i feel confident that nearly all readers of the books could re-create Culture society to a high level of accuracy if they were prompted. yet if you try to distill Culture society into a few paragraphs, it's really hard!

so yeah, i read the books for the Culture. it's a shame banks died, i think he could have written a dozen more books in the series and delivered more great material.
It's about the language front-to-back. The language that builds the CMS is also the language that you build your sites with! So you keep the overhead low on various technologies being used. Yes, GraphQL users are the primary people drawn to the app, but that's sort of true for any platform?

Fixed:

> 1. Check out the author’s bio online to get a sense of the person’s bias and perspective.

> 2. Read the title, subtitle, front flap, table of contents. Figure out the big-picture argument of the book, and how that argument is laid out.

> 3. Read the introduction and conclusion word for word to figure out where the author starts from and where he eventually gets to.

> 4. Read/skim each chapter: Read the title, the first few paragraphs or the first few pages of the chapter to figure out how the author is using the chapter and where it fits into the argument of the whole book. Then skim through headings and subheadings to get an idea of the flow. Read the first sentence and last sentence of each paragraph. Once you get an argument, feel free to move on to the next argument, skipping over the many repeated case studies or examples.

> 5. End with the table of contents again, looking through, and summarising each.
I understand that the adult companies' hiring pool is even smaller and I recognize it as a legitimate business problem to worry about.

But aren't these companies of the kind that like to nurture employees as a result? Namely good social programs, maybe some free food, some advertise good parties (wtf?) or maybe none of these -- just a promise for job stability and having a friendly and outgoing team and a "family"-like environment overall.

Regarding parties: I watched a video years ago when 2 of an adult site's programmers went to a company party and they were very pampered, including voluntary flirting and sex by some of the porn stars (that was a bit weird but also kind of hot). While as a very happily taken man I don't care about such activities in company parties one bit, this is one of the examples of a smaller community that has tighter bonds and (overly) friendly atmosphere.

I mean, not everybody is obsessed by growth and being able to replace humans as nuts and bolts in a machine, after all.
