"There's a confusion about China. The popular conception is that companies come to China because of low labor cost. I'm not sure what part of China they go to but the truth is China stopped being the low labor cost country many years ago. And that is not the reason to come to China from a supply point of view. The reason is because of the skill, and the quantity of skill in one location and the type of skill it is."

And China has an abundance of skilled labor unseen elsewhere, says Cook:

"The products we do require really advanced tooling, and the precision that you have to have, the tooling and working with the materials that we do are state of the art. And the tooling skill is very deep here. In the US you could have a meeting of tooling engineers and I'm not sure we could fill the room. In China you could fill multiple football fields."

He was selling poison. The ruse was a way to get his admin account and collect evidence. They got lucky, and it worked.

The guy was a kingpin criminal running a drug marketplace. Kudos to the FBI for standing up to scumbags.

It’s unfortunate that the suspect committed suicide and is now non existent or had to face evil aliens or whatever, but he knew of the risks for his criminal activity. Suicide was his choice. The other choice would have been to face justice for his crimes.
The EV cert is served with example.com, where Alice can see it.

EV is not necessary for card.example.com because a) it's not a domain that Alice will visit directly, and b) Bob has out-of-band opportunities to confirm that he wants his application to connect to card.example.com.

EV does not provide better technical security than DV, it provides better information for following up on problems. If Alice thinks Bob ripped her off, she can look at the EV cert on example.com to get the legal name of Bob's business and the locality in which it is incorporated, and file a complaint against him. She doesn't need to know about how Bob processes credit cards to do that.

Evernote had such a feature- Skitch was their program which integrated screenshots and allowed for marking them up, indexing the text inside the image, and filing them alongside or within my other notes. But they killed it and I'm not sure why. It still works but is buggy and unsupported now.
Between Apple Notes, Bear, and OmniFocus I have no reason to use Evernote. They all do what they focus on well, cost less over time, and are proper native apps to boot.

For OmniFocus in particular I also have the assurance that its maker isn’t just going to up and vanish any time soon. They’ve been around since the NeXTSTEP days and are quite healthy.
The Party won't let anything that will lead to (10) happen. Growth=staying in power, this is the fundamental belief from which all their actions are derived.

It always comes back down to money. Suburbs are inherently less efficient; you need more sewage, more electric, more road, etc. to serve the same amount of people. And this is before we consider that suburban houses are much farther away and apart, much bigger spaces with more heating and AC requirement, etc. Suburbs generally don't make enough money through taxes to cover their lifecycle costs.

The first generation of suburbs is already failing as they become choked by the next generation of suburbs. Ferguson, MO was once a rich suburb of St. Louis. The suburbs of Nassau County, one of the richest US counties by median income, have been under state fiscal control since 2000.
You should! I used Go on a sizeable side project, and while I did enjoy it, I much prefer Rust. There's no doubt that Rust is harder to learn, but not pointlessly so; it's a learning exercise, especially if it's your first foray into low-level systems programming. Be patient, the payoff is worth the investment!

>> "The US will be forced to pay more for everything"

> I'm assuming your assumption is because China is taking over all of the resources/production capabilities around the world?

No, it's because the US government is forcing US consumers (and producers) to pay more for the goods than buyers in other countries will -- that's what a tariff is.

> You would be surprised at how much reshoring and US factories automation have occurred in the last few years in US.

Indeed I would be surprised and until recently I bought a lot of manufactured goods. OK, I may have overdone it on the beryllium bearing example: I did see a piece of fancy firefighting equipment being built in the Central Valley for shipment to a customer in NZ. But it was exotic enough that it wasn't worth figuring out how to make in NZ, while the volume was so low (they made 3-4 of them a year, at $100K/pop) that it couldn't keep the lights on. Most of what they made was farm gear and solar mounts for sale in the valley.

Another example: I bought some pressure vessels (about $60K each FOB Redwood City) made in LA: about half a dozen guys, a massive steel roller press and some excellent union welders. I could get them for much less from India, with about 50 guys feeding 2" sheet steel manually into a tiny roller press, excellent welding, also x-rayed and to the same safety standard. After shipping? About $65K. But that same factory in Amedebad is shipping tons of stuff to the oilfields of Central Asia and the Middle East -- they didn't really care if they got our businesses. While the factory in Los Angeles couldn't keep busy. So that's the low end: "not worth shipping". While $150K of high pressure steam boiler had parts falling off it in shipment from Chicago. It would have been cheaper for us to buy from Germany and have it shipped over just in terms of TCO.

So yes I'm pretty familiar, as a customer, of US heavy industry.

If you take the notion of “ongoing concern”, then there is a good argument for this thinking.

I doubt there is any academic program at all where you need to do that. There are however tons where you are allowed to do it, and students will opt to do it because that's easier than coming up with something interesting to say.

Another issue is that it starts to become more coercive a well, especially with vital resources. Taken to an extreme it amounts to literal duress. For instance you can't demand that someone sign over all of their wealth to you if you rescue them when they are in distress or else you'll leave them to die in the desert. An extreme example admittedly but illustrative of why there needs to be an upper limit somewhere. The precise agreement of 'when' is subject to some debate itself.

The biggest difference is that Rust doesn't force a specific one on you. The language knows nothing about threads. It does have two special traits, Sync and Send, that should be used by any thread-related APIs for concurrency guarantees, and the stdlib thread API does use them.

But there are other concurrency/paralellism models beyond std::thread, including really cool stuff like "scoped threads", and more classic "single threaded event loop" stuff, or thread pools.

The big differentiator is that Rust proves code free from data races at compile time. Not the specific model.

Incidentally, you can write NIFs in Rust...
Your whole argument comes down to "the dollar is overvalued". What does this mean? Bad things and good things for the US. You are not going to mention the good things, so I will.

For starters, you are using worthless (overvalued) papers to acquire real goods. The American consumer is getting a bargain.

You are also able to buy foreign assets at firesale prices (yes, for all your grandstanding, the US is not the only economy allowing direct foreign investment)

Having the world reserve currency (something the US has allowed / promoted to happen, out of interest) gives the US unfair operative advantages, already mentioned above.

The appetite for the dollar allows the US to be largely independent from the financial markets. It also allows the US to get favourable credit ratings, and financing terms which are unthinkable for other economies. This has been happening for decades, and is continuing until we reach a certain breaking point Incidentally, it is possible that this trade conflict is motivated by that breaking point getting closer.

To summarize: the US has enjoyed unfair, enourmous trade advantages for decades. It has been indulgent with its finances because the market has allowed it to be overspend. And now it wants the world to increase its already existing advantages, by claiming for "fair trade".

It is not going to happen.

I have Chanos' returns since inception in the 1980's. I have talked to Chanos a bunch. The guy is the biggest enduring fraud, figuratively speaking, in the investing world. His returns are dreadful. There is no money manager in the history of the world in which his own personal enrichment has diverged so much from his clients'. The worshipping of him is nothing short of shameful. I thought we despise the notion of getting rich at other peoples' expense?

Btw, losing less than the S&P is not a strategy but if you think it adds alpha I won't bother debating. Have fun spending alpha.
"Bulletproof" is a loaded term,something that is bulletproof may not be sulfiric acid proof for example.

Anyway, the puropose of a security solution is to reduce risk to an acceptable degree. There are already plenty of apps and protocols that allow for secure message transmission and storage(signal,wire,tls,ssh,etc...) Why do you think GPGs task is special?

FYI -- gpg is just a pgp client.
It's considered obsolete by the mainstream security community. Their prior recommendations often got hacked a lot, too. There's a niche group that promotes stuff that is stronger even if there's drawbacks to using it. We also let people decide if they accept those drawbacks. I'm in that crowd.

I noted that the Snowden leaks said the NSA of all groups hated GPG since it blacked out their collection efforts. They had to send their limited team of hackers to deal with people doing that hitting other parts of their systems. If NSA isn't regularly breaking it, then it should be strong enough to stop all the threats likely to bother me. I push it plus a limited set of commands that make it easy, but annoying, to use. Instead of email, I just tell people to encrypt/sign text and zip files with boring names. That lets us dodge vulnerabilities that come from metadata, email interactions, and so on. Then, send them via whatever mechanism ranging from convenience to full anonymity.

Truth is I rarely use it because other people rarely communicate to me encrypted or request it. They usually send stuff to my Gmail account in plaintext or HTML. It's there if I need something stronger. It's a pain in the butt. I at least know it has a stronger baseline than most tools which are unknowns to me that I assume will get hacked until seeing evidence otherwise.

Exactly. In most embedded contexts you have CPUs which are overpowered for what you need. What matters is code size, because flash memory is really expensive and the quality of your tools.

Also, once you go beyond blinking a couple of LEDs and especially if you care about energy consumption, you quickly get mired in complexity, dealing with interrupts and resulting concurrency. If you're a seasoned embedded developer, you will have an explicit, mostly declarative state machine at this point, possibly nested, and if you have more than 15 years of experience, you will be seriously thinking about better representations and generating all that C code from a Lisp.

I'm have a lot of hope for Rust in the embedded world. I especially hope that it will get embraced by vendors. To take a practical example again, I'm thinking about Nordic Semiconductor, which has really good SDKs and is innovative.

> You’ve just provided a different way of saying there’s a winner and a loser.

No I haven’t. Let me explain a bit more below.

> Disenfranchisement !== losing, it’s being denied the ability to have your vote count the same as anyone else’s.

> for the same candidate.

Exactly!

It’s a vote for the same presidential candidate regardless of whether you live in California or Ohio. Yet a Republican vote in California is meaningless because California assigns it’s electoral votes as winner takes all based on state level results.

If 51% of voters in California vote Democrat then all 55 electoral votes go towards the Democrats. This clearly disenfranchises conservative voters.

California has the ability to assign it’s electoral votes proportionally and enfranchise millions of conservative voters.

Of course they won’t because it would hurt the Democrats chances of winning unless all the other states followed suit.

Yet if it’s a question of right and wrong then shouldn’t California do the right thing and give conservatives a voice regardless?

Its all about availability of libraries. I did control systems in undergrad, and despite being a shitty language, being able to describe and manipulate dynamic systems (ODEs) was very useful. Doing numerical integration by hand for the nonlinear systems was horrible, though better than simulink (which is about as much fun as using LabVIEW or sculling H2SO4).
You can use it,but your citize peers,lawyers ,judges and anyone opposing you in court need to also be able to use it.
Yeah it could maybe just be called "List of companies hiring remote workers" or something. The company I work for is on it, and while we are small and act like a startup in many ways we've been in business for ten years.
There are definitely some rough edges - like you mentioned, copy and paste is awful (tbf this is very hard to implement, it's all edge cases), there's no web clipper yet, and for me, personally, I get annoyed by the '/' shortcut (also the search has gotten slower and slower (not sure if this is due to growing corpus or other issues) and there are some other niggles (not doing a great job auto-expanding where you're nested when you jump to a page for example), however they are consistently improving the product in lots of very noticeable ways: https://www.notion.so/What-s-New-157765353f2c4705bd45474e5ba...

And it does really the few things that I most care about:

* Seamlessly syncs/accessible on all my devices (I wish it did better offline access though)

* Has a rich, modern WYSIWYG editor (w/ markdown shortcuts, supports attachments and different types of embeds, comments/etc)

* Has a tree hierarchy on the left - I would prefer faceted nested collections (you can't put a note in two folders), but it's much more effective than single-pane organization like GDocs or Dropbox Paper

I've used a few the tables a bit and it's pretty rudimentary - if you don't need the organization, from what you've outlined, honestly it sounds like GDocs still might be what you need (I've always had a lot of GSheets I link out to from my notes - sucks it's not all in one place, but for notetaking, I think the more important thing is that I have a way to organize/find pointers to things, which GDocs completely fails at).

Labeling someone a "propagandist" just because they have an opposing view to yours is abusive—and one of the most poisonous tropes on the internet. Doing that because someone articulated a Chinese view in non-native English adds a nasty xenophobic twist.

What makes R appealing is basically all statistical methods are available in it -- and it is often the initial implementation language of new methods in statistics. Often an R program involves very little programming as such other than to read in data, run some existing statistical methods on it and print or plot the results. I'm not a particular fan of the language itself (I kind of wish XLispStat hadn't died), but every time I feel like checking out Python or Julia I find things I need that haven't been implemented yet in those languages that are in R.
Same. Been riding 15 years. My goal is always to be able to ride tomorrow.
I’m not referring to transient research prototypes, but to robust long-lived systems needed for experimentation and reproducible results tracking, and services that are directly customer facing.

We are often required to create new services and functionality because it is how our company can grow, and we have to have ease of access to experimental working space, with freedom to do things like custom compilations of ML frameworks, using programming languages that haven’t been widely used in the company yet to gain access to an important library, define complex assumption-breaking deployment constraints relative to GPU runtimes or containerized notebook servers, etc.

I think people who see how these things grow out of prototypes and wrongly conclude it was designed with transient concerns and thus isn’t robust in some way, they are rushing to judgment and discounting the fact that that ML expert who also wrote the web service layer and who also wrote the Jenkinsfile and who also wrote the container definition abd who also knows how to tune indices in the database, etc., really made their choices for serious, pragmatic engineering reasons that solve the business problem efficiently, and that they already anticipated and accounted for the shallow tradeoffs and caveats that IT will use as potshots to try to circumvent the responsibility to help maintain it.
