> Nike is substantially more expensive precisely because there are too many crappy shoes in the market. Nike is more "exclusive" and thus, pricier

But is Nike expensive because they want to be exclusive, or because there exist other players in the shoe market? For example, I could invent a flying car and sell it at high prices, so it's both a flying car and a status symbol. Then in 20 years, my patent expires and others can make cheaper models, but if I don't change my price, my brand brand will maintain its status symbol. I don't think the availability of other players in the market affects the price.

Yes, but is that new? People already assumed that and this is not caused by gTLDs, so it does not drive the value of .com domains up beyond what they already were.

The Juicero of license plates?
It will be interesting to see how this plays out. Approx 70% of American bonds are owned by Chinese companies. So if America puts the squeeze on the Chinese, they may cash in their bonds....since Mr. Trump feels he needs to upset Asia (making friends with North Korea) and feels the need to upset the EU, i doubt anyone will be plugging that gap
The way the Chinese roughshod foreign companies is blatantly anti-WTO and anti-trade.

I witnessed this while working at a large Canadian company.

China has one leader and they speak with one voice - and they have divided and conquered the West, which speaks with a thousand voices i.e. politicians, businesspeople, academics to the point wherein if anyone tries to say anything against China, they are shut down.

Remember when 'Tibet' was all the rage in Hollywood at the turn of the Millennium? Well they shut up pretty quick, didn't they? This has happened everywhere. You just don't find a lot of critical voices about China because someone is always applying pressure (i.e. advertisers etc.)

China is acting in rational self interest, and the number of people being brought out of abject poverty there (and elsewhere) is a very good thing, but because they've been able to do this since the dawn of the new era i.e. 1980's, things like IP theft, and direct governmental support of competitive entities is 'normative'.

I personally loathe Trump, but trade issue with China have to be resolved, and it's really sad that he's the only leader in the world it seems that is in a situation to do at least something about it.

The West has to work together to end particularly the IP rip-off scenarios, or it's not going to work.

I actually think China, during this current period of transition would be better off in a more level playing field, one suited for their participation in the world economy, as opposed to the current setup, which is suited to them being a 'developing economy' of previous decades.

There should definitely be a tit-for-tat tax on goods from China given some practices there, I very well understand the ostensible damage from tariffs, but as soon as you have to 'internalize' all those things that are externalized in China, many tariffs make sense.

The great risk is that China could actually be truly damaged (likely worse for regular folks than for the elite), worse, go into a recession, which would burst the fragile 'rest of the world' situation and we'd have a global problem.

In the grand scheme of things, it's better that China 'blinks' in this game, and uses the opportunity to institute some reforms that simply have to happen if they want to play on the global stage. You see this happening more formally with currency; because currency issues are more directly measurable, China has no choice but to reform of they want the RMB to be used in certain ways globally. But on trade ... it's more grey.

Now that Trump has fired a volley, it's possible that the EU may find a way to do the same thing, in a more politically nice kind of way - funny enough even though the US is in a 'trade war' with Canada, Europe, UK etc., behind the scenes, they are all already working with Trump on the China file, it's just not highly publicized for obvious reasons.
Intermittent ketosis with a 1500 kcal budget (net after exercise), a lot of pull-ups, elliptical, running. Weight training focusing on arms, chest, shoulders, some leg work.

I have my mail server require a TLS connection to a host before sending mail, but perhaps 2% of the time I get my mail bounced by the target server because it doesn't support it, including my old university. It's really crazy that a 20+ year old, standard technology is not literally everywhere, especially in big organisations.

Incidentally, that same university in the past year started injecting footers into people's emails, so I guess their primary focus is neither privacy nor security.

Your debt figures are not correct.

https://www.investopedia.com/articles/investing/080615/china...

Second, China needs that debt to be able to manage it's own currency. And though the Fed is not supposed play games like international currency war ... it will. The Fed and the USD are well poised to soak up any problems that China tries to play with USD.

It's also a game of confidence: do USD holders worldwide think that China can sink the USD with a little bit of war? Or is the global petrodollar resilient? Given the numbers and ratios ... it's clear that China probably won't win, cred remains in the USD etc.. So - it would have to be a coordinated shock - if there were both economic problems in the US, and dollar problems, and shocks in some other way and then China started playing games ... well that's something else.
There is math model Prisoners dilemma that says that both sides is better of cooperating. So unless Chinas industrial subsidies was a defeat move and the Us trade tariffs is an answer move everyone both Us and China will be worse off after the customs tariffs.

There is chance that the tarrifs will lead to higher consumer prices as economic production will not be optimally allocated. Inflation will follow higher consumer prices. Central banks have already used zero interest policy to stimulate the economy so we cannot use that as a tool. Something better will emerge after this but it might be a rough ride until it’s sorted.

Here is my 2 cents.

On HN people are always complaining that google services are unreliable because google shuts down a lot of stuff.

Well I think that's because they try a lot of things too. It's really amazing how they have managed to excel in lots of places. Maps, Office/GSuite, Email, Cloud, Chrome, Android, Waymo, Search...all of these are companies on their own.

Google manages to innovate by trying a lot of things and shutting down what doesn't work. It's like a startup incubator, and perhaps it motivates employees with the potential for big bonuses upon success just like a startup does.
Killing the reflections alone might help quite a lot: people might talk less loud because of that.
Back in the 90s on weekends my dad would bring home one of the PCs from the high school where he taught. Other students at the school had access to it so it became a weird sort of communication portal. My mates would cycle over with a backpack full of discs and we would install, say Dune II on the machine and send it back to school. One day it arrived with a tracker, a load of mods, and some demoscene files and it totally blew our minds. From then on I wanted to write software.

I do recall slightly later in the 90s seeing guys using a PC with a tracker at a forest rave. Probably didn't have the pitch control etc so they were probably using it alongside decks. Nice to see that there's still work going on to make "modern" tracker software for djing.
I'm not who you are asking, but this book https://www.amazon.com/Mathematical-Experience-Phillip-J-Dav... hits some of the philosophy of math. It's been a long time since I've dipped into it, but IIRC, it puts mathematical discoveries and exploration into more of a cultural and philosophical context. I could see this being sampled for a good crossover course that would cover humanities requirements for STEM, and STEM requirements for humanities.

Indian marxist? No wonder you belong and advocate views of Hindu nationalist party of India, BJP. Pathetic diss.

Two Points regarding the article:-
1. Author says agriculture first started in Sri Lanka, and then uses that to say India was the country where agriculture started. Completely ignoring the fact that Sri Lanka is not in India.

2. Author says, "India cannot now be ruled out as the home of the grape, in which case, we would have a Neolithic-era spread of a crop from India to the FC and beyond."

His whole assertion is this paper [A], where all the paper authors say is that grape could have been present in India before the presently accepted timeline, they don't say anything about India being home of the grape or even if grape spread out from India. IndiaFacts did quite a reach there just for proving supremacy of India.

So yeah again, a better site for your ignorant BS. It is better to not bring your level of discourse to this site.

Don't think for a moment all unions were good. A good selection were militant trouble makers thinking little of the good of their members. The miners in the UK came firmly in that category.

The Air Traffic union in the US seems, from this side of the Atlantic, much less clear cut. They seemed to be a middle class, white collar union. Reagan supported them during campaign, then after election crucified them.

Nonetheless both cases were the start of the neoliberal changes and the neutering of unions good, bad and indifferent.

I should have made myself clearer, I meant personal responsibility and choice as political catch phrase. It was the well worn 1980s selling point and justification of many of the changes and privatisations. Many of them in areas that were generally accepted as having a place in society, such as social housing etc. Which is not at all the same as real personal responsibility and civic duty.

My own parents did similar - neither of them talked about it much or felt any need to show anyone what good they were doing. They quietly did it as part of their beliefs, contributing to the community.
Ask HN: What constitutes acceptance of a site's cookie policy?
I recently found myself (by accident) browsing a Daily Mail article on mobile. The screen was 30% taken up by a top banner requesting that I install the Daily Mail app, and the GDPR cookie permission request took up the lower 50%. The middle 20% window was not comfortable enough to read the text, so I pressed the "X" on the app install screen. This made the app banner disappear, but it also made the GDPR request banner disappear and be replaced by a message thanking me for accepting the policy.

What, ethically and legally, constitutes acceptance of a cookie policy? Is it ok to assume that if the user further interacts with the website beyond loading the page, that they implicitly accept the storage of cookies in the user's browser and tracking that goes along with it? In Europe, isn't it necessary to explicitly obtain user consent for this?

HSP/HFP for calls is very standard; A2DP isn't suitable for calls since it's unidirectional. HFP 1.6 supports wide band (16khz) speech with the mSBC codec, which is a big improvement, but adoption has been very slow.

E.g. in Android, I think Oreo finally added some HFP 1.6 support, and 16kz SCO output should be theoretically possible (I wasn't able to get it to work). But for some reason, 8khz SCO input remains explicitly unsupported, as per the AudioManager doc:

> "The following restrictions apply on [SCO] input streams: [...] the sampling must be 8kHz"

From what I've seen, most bluetooth devices and cellular providers don't seem to support 16khz speech either. At this rate, it seems like most of us won't enjoy wide band bluetooth calls until 2030 or so.

We don't need a new separate place to publish the TLS ability of our mx. This can be done with a txt record in the DNS zonefiles same as spf.

It would need some sort of consistent rfc-guided format for what TLS policy re: downgrades, port 25 plaintext, etc, that you want to publish.

Not too dissimilar from publishing an HSTS policy, but done by the authoritative nameservers for a zone rather than on an individual httpd.

This topic is fairly personal to me, since - after I got bitten hard by the continental philosophy bug at the age of 18 - I really did aspire to go into academia and teach it. But I got to the point of applying for PhDs and something of the reality started to dawn, not least that there would be another three years of genteel poverty to endure before there was any hope of a steady job. I had the good fortune to take to programming at that time.

The student loan situation is not quite so bad here in the UK (although it is worse now than when I was going through the system). Yet it clearly puts the humanities at a disadvantage. You don't need to have read Toqueville or
Heidegger to see that taking on a six figure debt for the slender possibility of a poorly paid and stressful job later is a really bad idea.

Add in the 'other' relevant numbers - "how many papers have you published this year?" and friends - and frankly I'm surprised that anyone is left to teach today's students. It sounds miserable, and also -from the student's point of view - must reduce engagement with the material.

It is just a question of orthography. In German, compound nouns are written without space, as a single word. In English, they are usually (but not always) written with space. So "Christmas tree" is "Weinachtsbaum". This is sometimes made out to be much more mysterious than it is, as if German is more "composable" or something, but the only difference is the typographical space.

English is just more difficult to spell because there no simple rule for when a compound is written with or without space (or with a dash, as is sometimes the case). E.g. Christmas is Christ + mass, but is written in a single word.
