> it's pretty unclear to me why you would expect the reader to care.

Because even if the universe is indifferent and the problems of globalization are vexing we can see even people of other cultures as fellow humans and feel empathy for them?
Can you elaborate on the 'pile of mud' fundamentals of economics? I've always been inclined to agree, but then I consider my biases in this regard, but also my own field, psychology, and pause.

If you subdivide 'science' into various fields, psychology is definitely on much shakier grounds than has often ben assumed. But if you subdivide 'psychology', the picture isn't as clear. I'd say marketing and the broader field of persuasion/propaganda, or something like group dynamics, has a much firmer basis in reality than, say, psychopathology or evolutionary psychology.

I'm very curious if people who are well-versed in economics can make similar distinctions, because I find it hard to believe it's 'all' mud.
> The simple answer is that you care because of empathy

Being empathetic to your competitors is a recipe for disaster.

For once, I am on Google's side with this one.

Somewhat of a discourse. In the last years, "China and Russia" became a new racist norm against anything and everything there. My mom and dad are absolutely against totalitarianism, but their "cardinal sin" is that they were born in Russia and they lack the financial means to move to another country. For years, they can't even buy any good cheese because the cheese was "sanctioned" as an import. Those imported goods that didn't disappear doubled and tripled in price. So whom did it hurt? I assure you that people in the government can buy any cheese they want.

Back to Google and China. You can't find anything on Baidu or Sogou, it's so ridiculously bad that most of the knowledge in CNnet is concentrated within a few large systems: Wechat, Zhihu, Weibo. The idea of a "website" or a "blog" is almost unheard of, mostly because there will never be any exposure to this website or blog. Everything in China is on some kind of platforms. And as long as there are just a few big platforms, the government can control it all.

Even now Google is a much better source of relevant information on the Chinese internet, and if it works in China officially, it will give regular Chinese people unprecedented flexibility and knowledge exchange. Okay, you won't be able to find Winnie the Pooh on Chinese Google, you won't be able to find Xinjiang concentration camps. But you will be able to find information about democracy, economy, physics, law, sociology, psychology, art, literature! It's equally important to let normal people of China access better information. China is incredibly high-tech and innovative, but the Chinese internet is extremely low-quality. Google is necessary here to provide the fertile soil on which thinkers can raise and start questioning their political status quo.

Unlikely; all products are sold at what the market will bear, irrespective of the cost of making them.

Show HN: Font Playground updates
Every interesting thing you can do with computers is a security issue waiting to happen. The only secure computer is one that's disconnected from Internet, turned off, encased in concrete and buried in an abandoned mine, which is then flooded and sealed with more concrete.

Point being, while this particular implementation needs a lot more work, the concept itself is sound.
hi HackerNews community, I am the creator of Font Playground https://play.typedetail.com/, which debuted right from here as a Show HN post! Font Playground is a web app that allows you to experiement with variable fonts.
I have just updated the app with a bunch of new features, you can now create interesting compositions with variable fonts and save it to CodePen. You can reopen saved compositions later as well. Try out the font “Spooky”, it is ... spooky! It is part of 13 newly added fonts designed by the Black Foundry.
Happy to hear that you're doing well and on your path. Just a quick suggestion: you could take a look at honeypot.io. They take care of pre-filtering both the companies and candidates, so using their "market place" is less stressful and less time-consuming than going directly to the companies / recruiters.
How did Quora implement their “Links” feature?
I want to build a website (just as a side learning project that hopefully people could use one day, not a startup) similar to the "Links" feature Quora has, but just for one particular area of interest which is cryptocurrency. The goal is to have users go to the website to see the recent & good articles about cryptocurrency. I understand that this may not be that useful, but I am doing as a learning experience with the goal to have the best and most relevant Links.

From an engineering perspective, how could I build this? Thanks so much HN for your help.

> Well, they might need one for their site and once it's up and loaded with your content, you can now start to query it for data that you don't host.

That's a very interesting idea that I hadn't considered. So basically site owners could host their own nodes that only index their own website. But since the nodes can communicate the end result is an index of many different websites.

Sure. Globalization produces losers. Real ones. This guy's life is worse than it was, likely persistently so. We can recognize that, and say it sucks.

But someone else's life is better, likely persistently so. That job didn't vanish, it relocated.

That doesn't erase the suffering. But it does suggest that the kind of snotty performative anti-globalism that started this thread is, at best, shortsighted.
The linker code to calculate the necessary auipc and remaining offset for a relocation and do something else when out of bounds, was written years ago, is two lines of code, and no doubt took less time than this conversation.

I don't even know of any application that has 1 GB of code, let alone 2 GB minus 2 KB (2,147,481,600 bytes).

You're right. Here's food for thought: have sanctions ever resolved authoritarianism or dictatorship?

Economic war should only be used to disable aggressive enemies, because it has never actually helped anyone better their human rights or political rights. In fact, among "passive" abusers of human rights we see that more contact with the rest of the world improves conditions.

I love the idea of almost every ZachTronics game.

My issue with them is that they get close enough to actual programming that I invariably quit, and go actually work on a hobby programming project, rather then play. As a result, I generally buy the game, play the first few levels, and then go make some commits on a programming puzzle that has an actual end-result that I benefit from.

I really wish the games used an actual language or assembly opcode set. If I could play TIS-100 and practice ARM or AVR assembly, that would be amazing.
I don't know why you're getting downvoted. A laser pointer (limited to 5mW) isn't capable of causing eye damage anywhere past 50 feet. Even a big 500mW laser is causing no damage past 500 feet.

You’re right that the USA has committed many sins of its own but freedom of expression in the USA is still protected to a degree unthinkable in places like China or Russia or Vietnam.

You just articulated what has been bothering me about these games! I couldn't put a finger on it. I tried them out, and found them to be incredibly well made, and yet couldn't get myself to play them. I felt like I was seriously wasting time that I could spend doing actual programming, so I stopped. I think these games would do really well targeting an audience that is new to programming.
I love Zachtronics games, but they have really ridiculous performance requirements. My MacBook Pro heats up like crazy playing them.
I'm so happy to read this post. I also wanna testify on how amazing running is. For me personally, it changed my mood drastically. I was in the moment when things felt very gloomy and depressed: I didn't feel like doing anything, activities that were supposedly fun didn't seem like one, I didn't feel like going out to socialize, etc. Then I started running and it was amazing how it changed my life. After a run, I always felt very energetic and much happier. I liked it so much that initially I couldn't even do 3K without stopping, slowly and surely I kept practicing until I could do an 18K marathon. Perhaps this wasn't a huge accomplishment for many people, but considering how unfit and inconsistent of a person I had been, this was a feat for me.

Not only the endorphin produced during a run helped out with moods and balancing out hormones in the body, it also taught me a very important lesson about consistency and how life in general is never about competing with anybody but ourselves.

For those who are interested to start running, follow your own comfortable pace. Although it might seem very slow at first, don't push yourself too much cos if you do so, it wouldn't be enjoyable and you wouldn't feel like running again. Just keep doing it consistently it at the pace you're comfortable with. Before you realize it, you'll be much fitter than you started with :)
The thing is that turbines are incredibly reliable compared to piston engines. The PT6 in particular is known for reliability. Compare the TBO (time between overhauls) on the IO-540 piston engine originally at 1200 to 2000 hours depending on application to the TBO for the PT6A turbine which is 6000 to 9000 hours depending on model and application. In any case, fixing an aircraft engine in the bush is not really a thing, the concern is forced landings due to engine failure.

In airline service engines are monitored and inspected and overhauls are done when there is evidence that it is needed. One CFM-56 on a 737 went over 40,000 hours before being removed from the airplane for rebuild.

The extreme reliability of turbine engines is why they permit twin engine airliners to operate on routes that could require up to 370 minutes of single engine operation. That is, the FAA considers the risk of a second engine failure is acceptable for over six hours. [0]

I completely agree with your points, and wish you weren't being downvoted for them. I'm completely on the "climate change is real" side (sad that I feel I have to declare my loyalty), but I think most people simply aren't engaging with how people actually form opinions, which is why so much of politics becomes simply impossible. And I mean understanding this from both sides - recognizing how other people form invalid opinions, but also understanding that how you form (hopefully valid) opinions is usually also a "pick which experts I listen to" kind of thing. Hopefully, you're picking the right experts because you understand reasoning and the scientific process - but to pretend you're only going by the science, or rather, that "your side" is only going by the science, is to ignore the fact that 99% of people can't tell you any argument or counterargument for any belief they hold.

Yep you can guarantee that the Chinese Government will use its newfound leverage with Google to pressure it on a wide array of fronts.

What about global searches about Tienanmen square or Falun Gong, is Google going to walk away from billions and billions of profit to say no to that?

Its pretty clear they have no moral issue with censoring for profit.
It absolutely legitimizes the PRC's censorship of the internet further, and gives them massive leverage over Google.
Nah, it's more like fur rendering. It looks like they do some raytracing to intersect with virtual grass blades.
> Then, there are other fields, like economics and nutrition, where the basic fundamentals of the field are a pile of mud.

That's incredibly dismissive of these fields. I can't speak much to nutrition, but economics is not a "pile of mud", definitely not its fundamentals.

A corollary to what you wrote: maybe Google is the worst player to do that, because capabilities of this company create a moral hazard here - China knows what Google can do, and so they'll ask Google to do it (or else no market). A search company that does not have such surveillance infrastructure already in place couldn't be asked for such deep filtering.

As in, the move to remove fats entirely and replace them with carbs is considered today to have been a bad idea, even if no one quite agrees just how bad or just what a better idea is.
