Huawei and ZTE has had a presence in Europe for years, with Huawei even getting into the infrastructure market.

Xiaomi is a different story, as they were not even interested in getting their devices Google certified for the longest time.

And much like how Samsung eroded the foundation of Nokia's market by undercutting them on cheap featurephones, Huawei seems to have done the same to Samsung by flooding the market with "cheap" models and working their way up.

Not to say that Huawei's offerings are bad from a customer standpoint, i had a P6 for a number of years and frankly it surprised me with its software bundle. I really felt they were angling more towards being a pocket computer than being a media player with streaming.
You have just one? ;-)

High fives for iron. I bought an old cast iron pan from a second hand store that had been machined to a very smooth finish. After cooking eggs in it, I immediately stripped and sanded my modern Lodge cast iron.

The difference is pretty big. It may not be as non-stick as Teflon, but it’s pretty darned non-stick. I assume my cast iron is also putting less cancer in my body.
Me, too. East coast.

Speaking to 5)

"Warming causes coral bleaching (Figure 1C), which is the breakdown in the symbiosis between corals and their symbiotic dinoflagellates (zooxanthellae), which are essential for coral growth. Acidification decreases calcification and may ultimately result in the inability of corals to form a skeleton." [1]

"Although higher pCO2 conditions do not appear to have
a strong negative impact on physiological parameters,
ocean acidification will have a negative impact on both colony and coral reef ecosystem scales. The reduction in calcification for these coral species will lead to generally weaker skeletons, increasing the risk of physical damage and bioerosion at the colony level" [2]

Ok, I see what happened. I had it open on a laptop screen that was 1366 x 768 so the little toolbar things didn't show up. They were below the page. When I moved it to a screen with a resolution of 1920 x 1080, they show up.

Seems like a UI bug, those things disappear when the browser window gets to be a certain height.

Also, I checked the reverse on one of the directions. So from A to B and B to A. One way shows that it is possible to do in an hour, while the reverse shows that it can't be done. While I understand that road conditions may be different in each direction in general, in this specific case, I know the conditions are the same.

There's also some weird artifacts, like parts of roads skipped. Places designated as "an hour away" that are only reachable by first driving through areas designated as unreachable in an hour.
do you know if an example website that does this.
I’m also interested in knowing why they were worse, and harmful at all.
> That's rather pessimistic.

Indeed. But it's also realistic.

> The old slogan of "reduce, re-use, recycle" (in that order) still applies.

Applies to what? R-R-R will buy some time. It will not solve the problem in the long run.

> There is no magic bullet.

Yes, there is: birth control. The solution to the problem is to stop the underlying unsustainable process, which is the exponential growth in human population. That is the ONLY solution.
I think it's called the Fortune 500.
I agree but the only way we will reduce plastic production is if we price in the cost of disposal.
The disparity to me is obvious; vanguard is a mutually owned company, whereas the others are for-profit. When you buy vanguard, you're buying vanguard itself, not just a product from them.

Curbside separation in my mind involves me keeping huge amounts of different bins in my tiny apartment so that I can sort everything, and then finding where the landlord has put the brown glass recycle bins this week, then walking over to the other end of the 15 acre complex to locate the green glass bins, then walking to the opposite corner to locate the aluminum can bin.

I'm not saying it's impossible, but any system that requires individuals to pre-sort recyclables needs to account for the fact that most of us live in places that were designed before recycling was a thing.
Eh, I'm not entirely sure people knew about these things when they occurred. I mean, people generally don't want to explicitly kill other people even for a profit. For instance, with your reference to leaded gasoline, or "ethyl" gasoline, its creator, Thomas Midgley Jr., inhaled the stuff in a press conference to prove it was safe. Lead poisoned.
Very nice, but the algo seems to get confused some times. There are places you can get to in 3.5 hours from Chapel Hill NC that you can't get to in 4.0 hours.

I'm not saying Tencent, Baidu, and Weibo are unsuccessful. I'm saying that they are successful because Facebook(+WhatsApp), Google, and Twitter are blocked by all 3 of China's ISPs. If that were not the case I strongly believe those Chinese companies would be niche players if they even survived at all.

To address the sibling comment by kuwze, the reason why Tencent is successful in payments is because the Chinese government blocked everyone competing with it, and also because the Chinese market lacked credit cards. Same thing for Alibaba. It's similar to how African countries went straight to mobile before more developed places did, and nobody holds those carriers up as examples of innovation. If we didn't already have complete acceptance of credit cards we would probably be using wallets from Microsoft or Amazon or some other tech giant.

I have to respect Alibaba on the e-commerce though. In my opinion they're better than Amazon. Their software is dismal compared to Amazon, but when you measure them by the range of products you can get delivered, how fast and inexpensively, it's clearly superior, and they enjoy no protection from competition by Amazon. Alibaba is really great, the best perk of living in China hands down. Didi is cool too, though like all the copy cats it's just crap as a software company compared to Uber or Lyft.

So anyway, no disrespect to the business savvy of China's big tech. And I also see that there's some awesome units in them. For example, Tencent has some absolutely fantastic security groups. All I'm saying is that China's tech giants didn't get here by technical innovation, whereas America's did. And not only that, China's internet policy has the side effect of crushing innovation so we're not likely to see anything interesting spring from there.
Downvoted for mentioning it, or downvoted for putting scare quotes around it?
Relevant XKCD https://xkcd.com/641/
Talking to strangers is fine under the right circumstances. (Maybe a bit weird if it's literally in the street, which is what the French law covers.) You're the one who specifically said "approaching people with a sexual interest." That's a far cry from simply "talking."
Because you want to join in the conversation, and with lower amounts of magical points you get more often messages telling you to "slow down" AFTER you have carefully written a message in 5 to to 10 minutes. This is infuriating when english is not your native language and writing understandable language is slow, especially to communicate complex thought that may be not evident.

Due to my unpopular opinions about how some countries and companies are often targetted in US media, even on unrelated articles, this happens to me. I like taking breaks on HN, but the more it happens, the more I am going to other places instead.

This is not about being true or being right - just whether your conversation is following the mainstream opinion or not.

If later it proves to be right? Too bad for you. This is the case on most forums with up and downvoting, and it forces dissent out.

I am interested in conversation for learning and sharing. The post I read the more carefully are greyed out or dead. Most are ads or crankpots, but in 1% of the time I get gems.

Sinple example: would you have preferred to learn about intermittent fasting now, or 5 years ago? Me: 5 years ago, but too many downvotes may have pushed out of the community people like the parent poster.

Nuitka (nuitka.net) has been able to compile python programs to a single stand alone executable reliably, robustly and easily for a while now.

It's a real gem and deserves to be more popular. We are very far from the quirks of pyinstaller or cxfreeze : it just works, even with numpy or qt.

Yes, go is still superior for deployment :

- it can cross compile

- executables are smaller

- it's built in so it's just an easier experience

- it doesn't depend on libc

But it's important to spread the word: the time were your python program was hard to ship is over.

Just use nuitka.
I do bodyweight exercises, using the book 'The Supple Leopard' as guide on how to do pull ups/chin ups/push ups/dips/rows/squats/hanging leg raises properly. I had to buy a tall bar to do this, which is difficult as almost every freestanding bar sold is too short to lock out your legs during pull ups if you're over 6'.

Generally I get up very early and do 35 mins on a stationary bike with intervals of sprinting. I don't do this for fitness reasons as getting your heart rate up for 30+ mins in the morning, at least for me, leads to better concentration when I'm working as in better focus to do hard mental tasks. After the bike I do all the above bodyweight exercises, usually 3 sets of as many reps as I can, holding as long as possible on the failure rep. Saturday I mix it up by going to a gym and doing weight training. Sunday I don't do anything except recently I'll do hikes and swimming because it's the summer. I used to go to the gym every morning but replaced it with bodyweight exercises because of time reasons. They're much harder to do as well, took me weeks to be able to do proper pull ups and hanging leg raises.

You can do this by buying dip bars for dips and rows, and building or buying any tall freestanding bar for everything else. If I lived near a public pool opened early in the morning I would swim instead of using the bike.

Seems like when you have major cities, population density varies so much that it's not a meaningful comparison?

Maybe better to compare available water or other resources. Cities in the desert are viable if you have water.

> Democracy is controlled by the market

This is the problem, because you know what else is controlled by the market? Your employment. I fully encourage going on strike if asked to make surveillance tech, but you will be fired for it. Then some other firm will be hired, and, oh well.

If "the market" controls democracy, to the extent that the "democratic" government demands surveillance tech because someone on the market wants to sell it, that's the problem to be solved, not a shortage of research scientists martyring their careers for no effective gain against the larger social pathologies.

>On flat maps, it’s impossible to represent land mass size on a relative scale.

This isn't right. It is impossible to represent both relative position and relative size accurately. Gall-Peters and other equal-area projections accurately represent relative sizes.
I suspect affected people finding somewhere else to bleat about Facebook being down is much more likely.
I don't know for sure, and I doubt anybody does... but I suspect something like this will play a key role in developing AGI. I've been really inspired by Marvin Minsky's "Society of Mind" theory[1] as well as Multi-Agent Systems[2] and the old Blackboard Architecture[3] approach, and have been doing some experimenting with that stuff. And like you, I'm really intrigued by Hinton's CapsuleNets work. I'm really looking forward to digging deeper into that.

The other component I think is going to be important, is the idea of a Semantic Network[4].

Black? Why the undifferentiated name? Another OSS naming fail.
Just because it's more likely than not part of their due diligence, and they have the connections to do it. "Hey, before we sign off, call your ex-manager Bob at the SEC and ask Bill from the CFTC at your dinner party tonight if the hammer's coming down on this stuff."

Yes, big dumb bets and Theranos-type due diligence exist, but I'm just saying my own estimation of it. "Assurances" might be too strong a word, maybe more like "not-unfavorable insider reports on regulator sentiment"
You can represent size or shape correctly, not both.

Anyone who uses the Gall-Peters projection is a cop.
Pfft Amazon outages are cooler.
Well considering most (all?) of Tarantino's films are exploitation films, it's certainly possible to make exploitation films respectfully. Consider that Tarantino is one of the most critically acclaimed and influential directors, ever.
Such a tool now exists and is called nuitka. See my other comment. It's very mature and can be trusted even with compiled extensions.
It was shameful since the OP dropped an irrelevant straw man hand grenade into the conversation.

Buying tooth brushes or power tools from China may not be ideal, but it is no where near as bad as helping the Chinese goverment oppress its people by contributing to limiting their people's access to information. For a dollar.

I already explained that while 60% of the revenue doesn't go to the fund investors, it doesn't go to Fidelity either. If you look at the Statement of Additional Informtaion for the fund, 56.7% goes back to the borrower (not Fidelity, the security borrower) in the form of a rebate. The profit motive doesn't explain this, at least not in the simple framing you've made of the issue.
Thanks, some sales, some support, some customer inquiries.

We've looked at salesforce, but that got a no.

It depends Where you live, in a lot of countries/regions neither separated waste bins nor products from recycled material are available. In Germany Both is present, making the process much more ready and economic than in the U.S. I wished though that more People would support this System, both in countries Where it’s facilitated but also in countries that have no central System for that in place.
I was thinking the same thing. It's an odd list. It may make sense to exclude cliff dwellings if the list should be the oldest buildings still being used. Still, old, well-made buildings are very neat even if not technically the oldest.
Interesting idea, but I think there's a glitch.

When I look at where I live and set 45mins, what I get is not fully covered by what I get for 50 mins. But if a place is within my 45min car ride, I would expect that place to be included to the 50min car ride zone. Am I missing something?

> Honestly, I expect that this would be computer science's Modernist moment. Corbusier and friends were genuinely excellent architects, but the move from "designing on sound principles" to "trusting that we know all the future uses of buildings and designing for those" was disastrous.

First of all, I love me a good Le Corbusier bash, and I totally agree with you here. I also get where you're coming from.

However, what the article asks for is the equivalent to demanding that Le Corbusier would have to ask at every step "how could my design, supposedly built on sound principles, have negative consequences?" which isn't something I recall being a thing he used to do.

Of course it won't be enough, but one could argue that if the experts don't even bother to try, things will be even worse.

>The more established, bigger, unethical companies will crush the "our products don't poison you!" competitors out of existence before they even get started.

And then they'll eat their babies. More realistically though they'll try to buy these companies to get their talent and patents. So in the end you banned the poisonous stuff, people who innovated made a lot of money and everybody's better off.

Maybe my hypothesis is overly optimistic but yours is comically grim. Do you think that we shouldn't have banned asbestos or leaded paints? That's exactly the kind of completely dogmatic rant I complained about in my sibling comment. "Things don't work perfectly all the time so let's do absolutely nothing".
Apple already have a good enough rapport with Intel that they can get "custom" variants for their laptops (the Air got a variant with a shrunk package back in the day, iirc).

With Razer, dunno. But when it comes to gaming AMD has long held the "hobbyist" stigma compared to Intel+Nvidia (though one may wonder if that is as a result of shenanigans from the latter two).

Sooo... if it's possible (I have a Fidelity 401k), is it a good or terrible idea to put a small % of my 401k into this?
Despite your concluding statement, there is something called "bonk training". Basically, you exhaust your glycogen stores as much as possible before beginning your workout.

So when you start running/biking, your body is in a similar state to just after hitting the wall in a marathon or several hours into a long bike race or triathlon without eating. Since you have insufficient glycogen, you just can't do more than 70% your max heart rate. It is reputed to produce advantageous training adaptations when done in addition to normal training.

But if you aren't on a keto diet already, that sounds like a great way to simulate the worst tortures of Hell. You probably won't even be able to push yourself hard enough to faint, but you will wish you had. There's a good reason racers down that glycogen gel stuff during their endurance races now.

Yea Canadians have to sort out recycling materials into categories and separate out paper from plastic containers or else its not picked up by the waste collectors, I think issue is when it is put into recycling to be reused for materials.
I wonder if PET bottles could be reusable if not crushed. If they are still usable then they would just wash them in the factory and fill them again.

Of course, they could get scratched or something during use, but people could be taught it's better if you buy a scratched bottle than putting plastic bottles in landfills.
