Exactly how does a Feitian key differ from a Google one? Where is the SoC produced? How secure is the enclave equivalent and that bit which produces the private key? What is the chain of trust?

Frankly, I don't know which ones produce the best movies in general as this is somewhat subjective. There are gems from all countries and often there is a co-operation between countries.

However, since I especially like Swedish crime drama, I can give you specific recommendations of crime drama movies and TV-series from Sweden and other countries.

* Snabba Cash I, II, III ("Easy Money" I, II, III)
* Wallander (yeah, the original Swedish one - there are many)
* Beck (there are many)
* Jägarna ("The Hunters", there's two)
* Midnight Sun ("Midnattssol"; TV series taking place in Lappland)

The latter is a French-Swedish production which is, I think, a good example of what the directive of the article intends to create more.

In addition to watching a crime drama of the kind which you might not have not seen, you get to sight-see places as they are. I especially liked the visual appearance of The Midnattssol since it takes place in Lappland, which I think is beautiful in a rugged way.

Also, you may have seen Hollywood remake of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. There's a Swedish original which can be interesting to watch.

A Swedish-Danish series called "The Bridge" (Bro) is very good, but I have not seen it.

An Italian (actually Italian-German) series called "Gomorrah" is very good too, I heard. I have not seen that either, though.

I have yet to fully explore all the crime drama from other European countries; I've seen some Finnish ones (like "Vares") and they were OK too.

Hope this helps.

Edit: forgot Snabba Cash III!

> I don't know what is 'a significant share' when we are talking about power users.

It basically means: worth tailoring to, given precious UI space and limited developer resources. Of course there's no fixed share that "worth tailoring to" can be translated to universally. It's a judgement call.

Do you think 50% of power users used this feature? How about 10%? 5%? 1%?

I doubt this one even met the 1% bar. Would you agree that it's reasonable if not necessary to draw a line somewhere?

> Not to say a significant share of power users disabled telemetry completely so we can't say anything about their share using this feature.

What we can at the very least do is reason about features and why and how people would use them, and we can collect anecdotal evidence.

I consider myself a power user. I have never used this feature in more than a decade, and have a hard time imagining what important thing people would do with it.
I believe @louisswiss was discussing the company advertising to hire a growth hacker, rather than the marketer/developer advertising themselves as one.

Having been on the receiving end of such a company once (and having unfortunately accepted the job), I strongly concur with the sentiment laid out: never, ever, ever accept a marketing job offer where the yardstick is delivering the moon and more every Friday like clockwork.

Marketing is, first and foremost, a systematic activity. You get a small gain here and a small gain there, week after week, with systematic testing in between. Your bread and butter is compound interest, if you will, if one can compare growth rate to investing.

Unicorn-sized ideas that move the needle a lot do occur, naturally; but not often, nor regularly.
I have a Versa. I have the feeling for casual daily activity or light exercises (hiking, walking around) it's OK. The resting heart rate also seems to be mostly accurate for me.

However for more intensive activities it seem like it can't keep up. I guess either because of sweat, or because of delays during processing. When I went biking with it and going full-out, the heart rate stayed really low for minutes, until it went somewhere in the medium range (still lower than it actually was). When doing something short and intense like burpees, it might even keep displaying the low starting heart rate, even though the actual heart rate is on the highest side. My garmin with chest strap does a way better job for these kind of activities.

However in total I still like the Versa and would buy it again.
I interpreted it as saying that, if you are in a specific European country, 30% of the content must be from that country you are in.
I suspect for most people you are right, but it isn't like we can measure and quantify either disincentive.

I know the chilling effect of the widened pool of viewers is real. I also know the quality of the feed is generally terrible.

What keeps me there is the quality of the groups (mostly people I don't know) and the somewhat reliable means of contact. I don't know anyone who keeps a phone number for more than a few years, but very few change social networks frequently.
I've never really spent any time reading Python bytecode, but disassembly suggests the difference could be:

f3
------
92 LOAD_FAST 2 (a2)
94 LOAD_FAST 3 (c)
96 BINARY_ADD
98 LOAD_FAST 3 (c)
100 LOAD_CONST 1 (2)
102 BINARY_ADD
104 ROT_TWO
106 STORE_FAST 2 (a2)
108 STORE_FAST 3 (c)

f4
------
92 LOAD_FAST 2 (a2)
94 LOAD_FAST 3 (c)
96 INPLACE_ADD
98 STORE_FAST 2 (a2)
100 LOAD_FAST 3 (c)
102 LOAD_CONST 1 (2)
104 INPLACE_ADD
106 STORE_FAST 3 (c)

And perhaps the culprit is that INPLACE_ADD requires more work than BINARY ADD https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15376509/when-is-i-x-dif...

I strongly believe that the idea that it's running on multiple cores is not the case. Python doesn't implicitly schedule any user code on separate threads, and if it did, the coherence cost of doing so would swamp any benefit of doing two simple operations in parallel.

Disassembly is as simple as:

with open('f3', 'w') as f:
dis.dis(factor_fermat3, file = f)

with open('f4', 'w') as f:
dis.dis(factor_fermat4, file = f)

Edit: Whoops, I see that I used Python3, while the post was about 2.7.4, and there's some wrangling over the differences below. I reran the disassmbly under 2.7.4. The bytecode was more verbose, but differed in the same way.
Infinite, or recursive? Alphabetic, lexographic, and numeric sorts are recursive over "significant digits", which is why we can write radix sorts. (Scare quotes because that term doesn't necessarily directly translate to alphabetic and lexographic sorting, but the basic prinicple is the same.)
I wouldn't say there's any deeper justification for 1-based indexing but neither is there for 0-based indexing. But convention is a pretty good reason for 1-based indexing. Regarding Dijkstra, I don't buy the specific argument he originally made about sequences much less the generalized argument that has become a meme now.

His main argument is that a <= i < b (everything integers) is less "ugly" because b-a is the length of the sequence and a <= i < a is an empty sequence. And because you must use the above convention, 0 <= i < N is "nicer" than 1<= i < N+1. I don't buy his a <= i < b premise (b-a+1 is not exactly hard to write and similarly a <= i <= a-1 for an empty sequence is not impossible to write).

There is nothing wrong with a <= i <= b. It is inclusive on both sides which is much less confusing than inclusive on one side and exclusive on the other (just look at python's ranges for how it can get confusing; range(5) means 0,1,2,3,4 ...seriously? Where did my 5 go? And range(a,b) meaning a <= i < b is so much more confusing than inclusive ranges). When you use inclusive ranges, you can actually see the numbers that are on both sides of the sequence. So, if we use this convention, then 1 <= i <= N is much "nicer" than 0 <= i <= N-1.

Aside from my argument about inclusive ranges, the fact is that both inclusive ranges and 1-indexing have thousands of years of convention behind it's back. This should not be discounted since math is a language, language is for communication, and communication depends on conventions.
That's a stupid solution.

Really? Most Javascript developers live in the world of trillion-dollar startups serving billions of people? That's why they need Kubernetes, React, and 2000 nodejs modules to show a couple of confirmation dialogs on the SOHO website they are working on.
> There's no economics without politics, and vice versa.

It's not absolute and binary, and the inability to recognize that and delegate on issues which are more political than financial is what causes issues. Passing laws on streaming providers in England based on French ideals of cultural protection is exactly the issue. This should remain a nation-level issue yet the legislators would way rather use the leverage of the super-nation since they can as opposed to whether they should.

> The EU as a single market has great potential. But that needs uniform and standardized access, which is politics.

It doesn't need 100% uniform and standardized access. There are limits to standardization. If they really wanted to be uniform, they'd do so in the language, but clearly the goal is not absolute uniformity. It is uniformity within reason and delegate to nations for other aspects (such as language). It's what is chosen to be delegated that is the issue.

> And there is power in numbers. The EU is relevant. England will soon find out how irrelevant it is alone.

Meh, as relevant as before and many other nations. Self determinism is where real power lies as it is obvious that one's own house should be clean before projecting. The EU can increase its influence and delegate its cultural rulemaking at the same time but it seems that the approach of individual governments, such as those that believe culture should be enforced via legal restrictions, reign.

Is anyone talking about how this incentivizes employers to select employees who are less likely to be on / enroll in public assistance?

If a teenager and a single mom are going for the same job and the single mom uses welfare more intensely, the employer will have an incentive to select against the single mom because she uses welfare.
I think you both are arguing two different things.

You seem to be saying that there are a lot of businesses, which will never be startups.

While that's true, they seem to be saying that being a startup is not an immutable trait of a company, but rather a phase, and that any side project or solo business could enter the startup phase at any time.

Sure, most people wouldn't consider a law office to be a startup. Most people also wouldn't consider a consultancy like 37Signals a startup. Most people wouldn't consider a novel URL-ranking algorithm like Google's a startup, or any number of other projects or businesses that didn't begin as startups.

That's not to say that a restaurant is likely to turn into a bootstrapped startup or anything. I think their main point was that not all startups started out with intentions of high growth. Your initial response was that "Solo entrepreneurs are not starting a startup, not as I (and most people) understand the term." To that, I think what they are saying is, "they could be."

You could then argue that startups which aren't yet startups are outside the scope of the OP's original statement that, "For every Startup raising $X million in funding there are probably a thousand solo entrepreneurs bootstrapping their way into profitability." Because, when they do become a startup, then they'll be raising money just like everyone else.

However, even that rebuttal would ignore all the startups that became startups aimed at high growth driven by profitability instead of raising millions at the outset. [1]

Honestly, I think the reason funded startups get more media coverage than bootstrapped startups comes down to simple numbers. There is a large but finite amount of demand for news on successful startups. There aren't enough successful acquisitions, IPOs, or openly successful companies to fill the demand, so we have to dip into indicators of future success, such as funding, to satisfy the demand for news on interesting new businesses. However, as many startups as there are getting funding, there are even more side projects and small businesses being started. Most aren't successful yet, and if they are, they're too busy being successful to proactively reach out to the media with an interesting story.

In other words, I think funding rounds are just an easy source/filter for journalists to publish on, and which require little effort editorializing to be considered interesting by the masses.

I wish there was more regulation that was positive instead of negative. Here for instance imagine that if instead of punishing Netflix for not providing an arbitrarily determined sufficient amount of local content, why not provide positive incentives for other companies (or Netflix as well) to do just that.

For instance for each 10% of your catalog that is made up of region local content, you get an 8% tax deduction. As companies adjusted to the new incentives, these values could be gradually lowered over time. This would help spur on new competitors as well as give established players a great motivation to not only provide a sufficient amount of local content, but also heavily promote it, in efforts to try to drive demand make it commercially viable to make even larger chunks of their catalog local.

Instead we get this, which is going to do little except encourage the bare minimum under threat of penalty. Just doesn't seem very logical.
It's not just marketers. :-)

The same applies to sales or engineers. Or most if not all other knowledge-based jobs, for that matter.
>> Once a family purchased a motel, they would live there, and the family members would do all the tasks needed to run it, from cleaning rooms to checking in guests. That helped keep costs down, and profits went toward acquiring new motels.

It is the exact same with convenience stores. Work 12-14 hour days. Only have other family members work there.
Macintosh Common Lisp was mildly popular on Macs. Apple used it themselves in several projects and eventually bought it, hired the team and sold it into their developer channel.

Another interesting offer was MacScheme.

LeLisp had a Mac version and it was used to implement an interface builder, which was demoed to Steve Jobs, who then hired the developer to create a version for NeXT.

Both Symbolics and TI delivered Lisp Machine boards for the Mac II.

Procyon developed a Common Lisp with UI for both Macs and PCs.

ExperCommon Lisp was another Lisp for Macs.

XLisp had Mac version.

On the PC there were numerous Lisp implementations.
I will add that in many "bigger orgs" they rely on external services/audits to identify certs signed outside of their process and use tools of the trade (like CAA records) to restrict certs being generated willy-nilly. If you are in a large org that does not do this -- raise it to the CSO. The fact that there are rogue certs in an org that may fail because of this CA removal action is the least of the orgs concerns.

In practice there is often little need, the same distros/packages the Pi can run are almost all, if not entirely, available for x86 as well. I usually just write code on my main Mac or Linux computer/VM and run the exact same code on the Pi. I guess it might be interesting as a technical exercise, but actual useful applications would be limited. Raspian (the OS most Pi users run) is a fairly vanilla Debian distro to work with, and also has an x86 version if you _really_ wanted to match the Pi that badly. The Pi of course can run mainstream distros like Ubuntu etc as well.

The only usecase I’ve ever really encountered is building armhf Docker images for Pi use, but even that can be done relatively easily now on x86 machines with qemu without emulating an entire ARM machine.

I’d argue a more useful thing for many Pi users would be a decent test library for stubbing GPIO calls, would make writing code that interacts with the GPIO on non-Pi machines much easier. This should be relatively simple to create, although I’ve yet to find a good one.
Simple, but not easy.

Smokers can stop smoking.
Drinkers can stop drinking.
Gamblers can stop gambling.

Over-eaters cannot stop eating.

Eating is sort of a prerequisite for survival. It's weird that we have this complete blindspot with regards to people with unhealthy relationships with food when we show a lot more compassion for other kinds of addicts. But the things most addicts get addicted to is completely voluntary. Food is one of the few vices that you are required to participate in to some degree. You tell an alcoholic just "to drink less" and you're the asshole. And rightly so. They have a problem. It's best for them to avoid the source. But we find it perfectly acceptable to tell people with food addictions to "eat less". Why is that?

So, it is understandable why people would like to find a way that can make it easier. Either a way to make what they have ingested not count, a way to ingest the same amount but get fewer calories from every ounce, etc.

And even your advice is wrong. Moving around more doesn't move the needle enough. "You can't outrun your mouth".

I don’t know if this would apply to you. Your story sounds similar to mine, so I’ll share what I did, just in case. I also apologize in advance if this does not apply.

That said, I found my depression was a direct result of consuming depressants. Alcohol, weed, anything else I could get my hands on. Suicidal ideation was the order of the day. I got clean almost 23 years ago with the help of a 12-Step program. It sounds like an odd choice for an Atheist like myself. But it was absolutely the best thing I ever did for myself. I’d really like to tell you my life is a bowl of cherries all day every day. But that would be a lie. I do have a life that I was incapable of envisioning for myself. I am married, I am a dad and I’m pursuing my dream building my own company. I’m completely in love with my wife and my nine-year-old daughter. I get to feel a wide range of emotions. Every day. I get to be present for everything. I get to participate in every decision in my life, instead of living life by the default settings. And I get to be responsible for every one of those choices. It is freedom for my mind, my heart, and my body.

> There is a very strong individualist streak in American culture and a very strong taboo against lending friends or family members money

I think the individualist streak in American culture is better shown by people being unwilling to seek help from friends/family. I might call an unwillingness to help others (assuming one can afford to do so) selfishness -- not individualism. But what I have seen in American is, as you said, individualism: People are prideful and want to create wealth without help.

An interesting clarification: People will more readily accept help from strangers -- e.g. a Kickstarter campaign, bank loan, or VC investment doesn't diminish one's pride in the way that the same support from someone's parents might.

There's talk elsewhere in this article's comments here about the "killer feature" that these Indian Americans have. I would argue that the true killer feature is not even access to zero-interest capital. It's a culture that actively fights against pride and individualism.

There are surely tradeoffs, but it's hard to deny the power that can come from children and adults alike all looking to family for help... and seeing that help not as something which diminishes their power but rather as something that bolsters it.
