I was quoted in this piece, and I think people are interpreting it wrong.

I believe the reporter was simply trying to describe the competition between the US and China in the race to develop technology, and the measures both sides are taking.

There is indeed a race. In fact, there are many races at once. On some fronts, the US is not moving very fast because of the way the government procures and invests in technology. Simultaneously. China is looking for ways to transfer technology. The CFIUS law limited the ways in which they can do so legally. Both countries are acting in their national interest, but they're starting from different points, which different advantages and disadvantages.

While the US is leading in many ways, China is catching up in others. If the US is complacent, or if it takes the wrong measures in over-regulating the tech industry, it will increase the likelihood that it will lose the race(s) and slowly become a secondary power.
Has the world gone crazy?

The funny thing is that people who feel like Brexit, Trump and so on are crazy would say yes, and people who think that Brexit and Trump are the best things to happen in long time will say yes for opposite reasons.

>Similarly, I urge my children to steer clear of any job that requires a polygraph. That rules out entire professions: National Security, Intelligence, Law Enforcement, Customs and Border Protection, and Pharmacy.

Pharmacists need to take polygraphs? I never thought about that. Is this to prevent pharmacists from dealing drugs? Is this a strictly US thing, or doe pharmacists in say Europe also take quasi routine polygraphs?
Very nice slides.

They do mention Apple ][ relationship, it's quite plausible they influence Apple dev teams.
What if the product was a framework for sourcing, aggregating, and visualizing data? When the user is put in control, you don't need to trust the product to do these things for you - it simply enables you to do what you want.

I think this is where the web is headed - where common users gain the ability to perform tasks that currently only developers or technical experts can do.

I don't deny chess is the game with the higher status, but I don't think that's what the term alpha was trying to get at. Alpha here is used in a social context, ie the leader of a pack. Some traits of an alpha, as opposed to a beta, include being aggressive, intimidating, capable of convincing others to join your agenda, and willing to lie for your benefit. It's hard to display alpha traits in a one on one game like chess.
It's sometimes not enough to simply use psychedelics. A lot has to do with the way you use them, with what intention, in what context, with whom, and how you follow up on and integrate your experience.

Plenty (most?) people take psychedelics without any kind of therapeutic or constructive intention -- they take them to party, to escape, as an antidote for boredom, etc. It's not surprising that such use of these powerful substances could have undesirable or even very negative effects -- though sometimes even such arguably reckless use still produces positive results.

Use of psychedelics in therapeutic and healing contexts tends to be very different. The intention tends to be very different, with a focus on healing or on a specific illness, symptom, or problem that the individual suffers from. There is often serious preparation for the journey, ranging from ways of purifying oneself (for psychedelic use in shamanic or other sacred contexts), to sessions of therapy (when this has been done in Western medical contexts).

The actual trips themselves also tend to be handled quite differently in healing/therapeutic contexts from recreational ones. In recreational contexts, people often do it at parties, with the lights on, or maybe watching movies, or maybe sometimes outside in nature. In therapeutic/healing context, the lights tend to be very low or off, sometimes blindfolds are used, and the focus internal. Music is often carefully selected to guide the journey. Sometimes people are asked to look at photos of loved one they've brought with them for this purpose. If things go wrong, trained support is available, and instructions are given on how to the experience in a constructive way, while in recreational settings the support is minimal and usually untrained, if it exists at all.

After the experience, the recreational user is usually on their own in terms of integrating and making sense of the experience, while in medical contexts there are often followup therapy sessions with trained professionals who can help in making sense of and constructively using whatever was uncovered during the trip, and perhaps the scheduling of further experiences with modified dosage, if needed.

I have no idea how your own psychedelic experiences were, but if they were more of the recreational kind, I am not very surprised that you didn't get much out of them.

Why You Should Delete Your Social Media
Soviet leaders had no choice. In 1920 the country was destroyed by civil war. Industry was absent. The people were starving. Society was split. Nobody has experience living without a Tsar. Nations within the country did not like each other. Fascism was arising in Europe, militarism in Asia. Everyone knew that time was short. The Soviet Union had to create powerful industry or be destroyed (and the apocalypse came very soon - in 1941). People did what they should and did not pay attention to stupidity, cruelty and injustice. All of this was secondary problem. Sovet Union managed to force Hitler to get stuck and retreat before Normandy landings. If it could not, Hitler would receive all resources of Russia and then the apocalypse would come to Great Britain and the USA...

No, there are no exceptions anywhere.

When an executives public appearances cause damage to the company they will be fired.

First - those laws are to protect individuals from attending political rallies.

As I said - merely attending a rally is not a big deal. But an an executive appearing at a rally, on stage, making political claims? That's a different world of participation.

Second - those regs are to protect employees from regular political participation. Not public agitation, moreover, executives are in a completely different category.

Executives generally are not completely stupid, and are not completely out of touch, and so they generally do not do public things which are going to get them in trouble. Now CEO's may take a risk an do something for attention one way or another, like Elon Musk, but political rallies and speeches are altogether another territory.

How many current CEO's and Executives do you see giving speeches at political rallies? Basically none. Why is this you might wonder?

This is not an accident. It's the result of systemic neoliberalism propaganda by well funded think tanks and a fawning media. The economic crisis has discredited their irrational faith in markets and raised fundamental questions about economic theory but they persist.

The economics profession itself is in crisis for capture, dubious theories, bad data and unrealistic assumptions. These are then used to spread baseless narratives of 'wealth creators', 'trickle down', 'financial wizards' all disconnected from reality. There are always economists on hand to scaremonger or justify any decision that benefits the wealthy, notice their behavior during Bernie Sanders Amazon bill. It's naked propaganda.

A corporation is centrally planned but when it comes to a country we are supposed to believe a market will sort it out? How? This is fantasy. A country is not a corporation. This childish demonizing of government at the core is really about disenfranchising citizens and democracy so the wealthy can operate unimpeded.

Node based / dataflow UI are also the bread and butter of CGI and compositing industry. It's hyper efficient both for machine because it's often freely memoized/cached and user (think of it as a simplified haskell at your fingertips) because the stateless and unlimited-undo aspects.

Very funny, Snapchat has two classes of stock and he owns enough of the kind that matters that no one can oust him.

>In my multiple decades of programming I have never seen anybody write a blatantly redundant comment like that. It's not "most of the time" that people comment like that, in my experience it's never.

While I share your dislike for this counterargument, it's certainly not never for me. Not even close. In my last job, I was dealing with code that had been in development for 15-20 years. We started a project to clean up the codebase. I would randomly browse people's commits. A fair amount of cleanup involved removing exactly those types of comments.

>Programmers have a job to do, and in my experience generally do not waste their time using comments to "restate obvious things and think it's a good comment".

Try working on a code base developed by engineers who are not trained in programming.

Manufacturing Consent of stuff like Miller's anti-chinese acts
Well, possibly. My point is that in Canada, at least on paper "Everyone has the right to be secure against unreasonable search or seizure.". Now obviously this is always work in progress and there are situations where asserting your rights is a problem, but people should follow up on these incidents and they do have recourse. Unlike some other places.

http://www.justice.gc.ca/eng/csj-sjc/rfc-dlc/ccrf-ccdl/check...

"The context of the search, and the activity that brings a person into contact with the state, can have an impact on the person’s reasonable expectation of privacy."

...

"The degree of personal privacy expected at borders, where travellers expect to be searched, is lower than in other enforcement situations (R. v. Simmons, [1988] 2 S.C.R. 495 at page 528; Monney at paragraph 34; R. v. Jacques, [1996] 3 S.C.R. 312 at paragraph 18).

The expectation of privacy is reduced in the school setting in relation to the responsibility of teachers and other school authorities to provide a safe environment and maintain order and discipline in the school (M.(M.R.)).

Prisons carry a decreased expectation of privacy (Weatherall; R. v. Conway, [1989] 1 S.C.R. 1659). However, the lowered expectation of privacy within a prison does not allow the seizure without a warrant of bodily samples taken as part of a medical examination (R. v. Dorfer (1996), 104 C.C.C. (3d) 528 (B.C.C.A.))."
Very good point. OP should be ready to get heavily involved with legal proceedings, especially as they say it is for ideological reasons.
Right, that was a bizarre connection to make.
I think the simplest answer is probably the real answer here. An article had inaccurate information, and all involved parties responded with the same story because they were all responding with the truth.

The alternative is the Chinese government inserted a chip onto boards. Which would have required a modification to the board as well as bypassing all of Apple's own hardware security measures. This sounds like an interesting story, but seems a lot less likely. Would the people planting an additional component not expect a company to inspect their own boards when doing normal checks?

Maybe Apple. They’ll just pull most of the ads and make it “privacy focused”. If they gave people an alternative to Facebook it would be a big move.

There's also one very easy to understand part of the 1st rule. A macro is still a piece of logic, and functions do that very well, so do as most as you can as functions at the metalevel so you can enjoy ease of debugging and everything else; then coat it with macro sugar.

A couple of more things; traditions and cultures are vastly different. The US navy was around long before a standing army. Also there’s a notion of distance to the people pulling the triggers; point of the spear. In the navy and Air Force relatively few people pull triggers, in the army and marine nearly everyone does which leads to the old saying; the marines are a department of the navy, the men’s department.

Their missions are different to clearly. Naval operations center around force projection and protecting aircraft carriers ie aircraft carrier battle groups. The army conducts either low intensity peace keeping or counter insurgency ops or high intensity ops, like countering a soviet invasion of Western Europe during the Cold War ie maneuver and heavy army.
They're just slightly improving the efficiency of a grossly inefficient system.

When wind becomes the dominant propulsion force, then it becomes appropriate to start using terms like "wind-powered".

As-is, this is just PR.

These vessels burn copious amounts of awfully dirty bunker fuel with basically zero emissions control systems. If you've spent any time downwind of such ships, you would better appreciate how offensive the green-washing of this relatively minor improvement really is.

Just sailing downwind of a cruise ship idling at port is noxious enough to make one nauseous, and it isn't even under load.

The whole industry needs a hard reset in the emissions department.

Basically any commercial transportation venture traversing international air/seas operates in a regulatory void and takes advantage of it wherever possible, at the expense of the planet.
I'll bet you that behind the scenes a different story is being told.
Of course Facebook can allow it's staff to do this, nobody is doubting that.

But Facebook is justifying post ad hoc here, Sandberg said it was obviously a mistake. He would have been told 'no' if he were to have asked. Which is probably why he didn't.

See my comment above about 'California's laws'.

You're misunderstanding the roles of executives if you think they are going to appear in highly controversial political ads and then get some kind of legal protection, frankly, the same would apply for employees. Legal protection doesn't matter anyhow - if you're going to bring harm to the company, why would the company employ you? This is not about 'voting' or 'donations' it's about 'public support / appearances' etc.. Executives are normally not this out of touch.

Go ahead and appear in an aggressive NRA TV ad imploring that 'all teachers should be armed' and see how long you last at your job. You'll be out right away, one way or another, even as an employee.

So again, nobody cares about voting, or donations, or even canvasing or merely attending rallies or whatever, but public participation i.e. TV sports, or major social media presence on some controversial issue is out of bounds, and if it brings harm to your company then you need to chose between being on that team, or your political activities.

Not really a very comprehensive review I'd say.
I think people overestimate the concern of fake videos. Consider photos for comparison. There have been fake photos of well known people for decades online, many of which are indistinguishable from reality. It doesn't lead to much confusion or issues in our everyday life. We just assume every noteworthy image is fake unless it comes from, or is cleared by, a credible source. The same will apply to video.

In my experience, TeX needs some packaging/distribution love. Also in my experience, overleaf/sharelatex (web based) blows all of the local installation approaches out of the water. Especially with respect to collaboration with coauthors of your documents.
Ratio (%) is calculated as "Buy support / Market cap". You can also see separate metrics for both "Buy support" and "Market cap" in the same row.

We count all buy orders (on all prices). It's true that low-hanging orders might be cancelled before they are executed. We've decided to count them anyway, because even low orders provide support during flash crashes.

Flash crash horror movie: https://youtu.be/R7WfSTePuA0?t=171

This was possible because there wasn't much buy support. And that's ETH - imagine what can happen with lowcap altcoins.

P.S. The fact that some altcoins don't even have market makers is a little... unsettling, don't you think?

I always wanted to like KDE but never really good hooked on it way back when I was surveying desktop environments over a decade ago. Have been on xmonad on my main desktops for quite some time now and just going with GNOME, Xfce or LXDE in whatever other scenario I need X11 in. I am now running KDE on my media PC and am very happy with it - it is very streamlined yet configurable. There are keyboard shortcut possibilities for pretty much anything I'd want.

I might just be replacing Lubuntu with this as my default "just need Ubuntu with a graphical environment" dist.
Because pointing a gun at someone is a very dangerous thing to do. It massively escalates the situation. At that point, if they or anyone else in the situation thinks they can shoot first, it becomes a real option and is also the only way to definitely protect yourself from the gun-pointer. Even if it's not a real option, people under that kind of sudden pressure don't think straight. A police-officer who habitually points a gun at people in situations that don't justify it is a danger to themself and everyone around them; the unlucky person staring down the barrel, other police-officers and unlucky bystanders in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Once a gun is pointed at a person, there are no more steps of escalation, no more ways to express how much you want them to do something; the only next step is to pull the trigger. The situation has suddenly become extremely dangerous and very volatile.
I just finished reading Deadly Deciepts by Ralph McGehee and this basically aligns well with how he describes the CIA. It's his memoirs of spending 25 years in the CIA and the bureaucratic shit show of a government job that it is. It would likely make a good comedy if they weren't responsible for so much pain and misery in the world.
This! I don't mind comments, but thinking they can replace good naming discipline is misguided imho. I prefer less comments, and only those that explain intent. (+API docs of course)
