It made sense when they were truly a developing country. But the issue is that entire businesses have been built on top of exploiting these rates. For example, a few years back I bought several specialized antenna cables for $2-3 online (total price, including shipping) and assumed they must be surplus some warehouse was trying to unload here in the U.S. and they'd just drop them in domestic First Class mail. I couldn't believe it when they arrived several weeks later from China and when I asked the post office what it would cost me to ship that exact package back to the sender they quoted me ~$30 (which of course didn't include the cost of the actual contents.) Good luck competing with that.
Also small volumes of the type small businesses deal in.

In every way this benefits mostly large stateside enterprises who source their products in bulk.

It's hard to 100 percent know your keys haven't been stolen. They are very small things, easily smuggled out in an ICMP packet, and must be in RAM of whatever machine the disk is in.

For many businesses, crushing the disk makes better business sense than take the risk that they have historically lost encryption keys and are now about to hand their data away to an attacker.

Russia is the greatest producer of oil, or at least neck-and-neck with Saudi Arabia. Plenty of other top producers wouldn't mind switching away from a USD-denominated market, including Iran and China. Exclude the U.S. from the list of top producers and you may even have a majority of producers who would prefer a different system.

The U.S. is the world's reserve currency because everybody trades with the U.S. and the U.S. has run a current account deficit consistently since 1950, and with most of the world. That means everybody is holding USD and thus you can sell something to anybody else without needing sufficient imports from that buyer to cover the transaction. (Countries can't just buy USD willy-nilly; they need to find someone willing to trade USD for their local currency, which requires exporting some good or service.)

But that can change. Indeed, politicians are hell bent on changing it. And the global economy is exploding, meaning the U.S. won't be able to remain the center of the global commercial universe even if it wanted to.

Withdrawing from the UPU will allow the US raise the rates Chinese mailers pay to mail into the US, but won't lower (and, depending on how China responds, may raise) the rates US mailers have to pay to mail into China. It's potentially an extension of the existing trade war in that respect.
Does the tree that falls in the forest with no one around to hear it, still make a sound?

Well, after having used reagents I have found that for most things so use it to more or less implement CML anyway. I have never been limited by the CML way, but I do appreciate the power that reagents give you.

You think intermediaries (e.g. dropshippers) can't add value to a supply chain? I don't know why you'd be so uncaring about /r/entrepreneurs when these are generally just people trying to get by as best they can. Having said that, this treaty withdrawal is still a good idea.
Atom is quite the heavyweight compared to VSC, especially once you load in a few plugins.

Atleast about a year back when I used it, Atom quickly filled up about 8GB of RAM for a moderately sized project in Go plus all necessary plugins.

VSC is fast but no lightweight either and hogs some resources.

It's not inherently a problem with Javascript, usually it's some framework like React being misused as usual inducing a lot of GC activity on top of unnecessary memory bloat.
Ah, I think you are right. They "sold" the fabs to Global Foundries.
While Amazon won't tell us, I think you are incorrect. A huge fraction of the cheap clone items you see listed are not in Amazon warehouses but are shipped direct from China. Fully half of my Amazon purchases over the past year have been direct shipped from China, to the point where now I check Alibaba first before purchasing something from Amazon if the item is unimportant enough that I don't care about the risk of getting a cheap counterfeit.
True, but speaking of the WTO, how hard has the US really tried there? A lot of people with economic power in the US benefit from being able to play labor arbitrage with China.

I dual majored in computer science and computer engineering.

For me, the latter was far more interesting. I got myself an internship at a large tech company between my junior and senior year of college. Let’s just say it went extremely well. Was offered a job six weeks in. The team dynamic is amazing, basically everyone in the group are friends and hang out outside work as well. Their offer was also fantastic, so it wasn’t a hard choice.

I’m still working there today on their hardware and systems engineering team. We design all of the systems for our products’ backbone, some of which contain custom hardware. I can find myself working on research efforts for future products, contributing to open source projects which we benefit from, working on Linux drivers for custom hardware, working on storage systems, or working on any random application which runs our backbone. It’s never boring.

>In physical, it isn't enough to protect where the votes are done. They have to be transported back and ultimately counted somewhere.

No, they don't. At least in my country they are counted in place.

All the observers sit next to the ballot for the whole process, and when the voting ends, the box is opened and the votes are counted. The observers being several people appointed at random (like a jury) to check vote credentials and count the votes at the end + appointed representatives from each party present.

Everything is recorded on paper, the votes are stamped and kept, and the tally is then reported for that voting district.

Even if the people appointed at random wanted to tamper, they'd have to work all together + get the party representatives to agree with it, because it all happens in the open, ("reading vote #N, says party X, do we agree it says party X? (shows the vote around) registering vote #N for party X (people look as the vote is recorded, two people sign next to the vote's registration)).

Usually after the ballots are closed (election ends), it takes 5-10 hours for those people to count all the votes for a district. Then the number is announced. All country districts are announced publicly, so any individual party representative or "jury" member of any district can challenge if the numbers announced (and used for the final country-wide tally) are not accurate.

They are not allowed to leave the room, and there's also a policeman present outside.

That entire section reads like nonsense to me (and I understand NAT hole punching), seems like some kind of confusion. Why do you need special TLS certs for WebSockets, but not WebRTC?

This is more frightening than the implications of the article and all the comments I've seen here so far.

To be clear, what you're describing is a system for triggering asynchronous, automated "background checks" (no doubt based on a secret methodology) against Americans, the results of which will then be applied at biometric checkpoints and used to justify taking individuals into custody for "further screening".

Do you understand the implications of a government using such a system against its citizens? Do you really think the TSA will effectively prevent other actors from using their database? Even if they do, do you think this model and precedent won't be exploited by other actors? FFS, they're already talking about ripping off the photos we have to have taken for our regular state-issued IDs.
No, it would be very easy actually. For example...

Problem: Other players can change your player's player model with cheats:
Solution: Ignore that message if its from another player

Problem: Other players can spawn in massive Ferris wheels in the middle of the map in Freeroam
Solution: Ignore that message if its from another player and we're in freemode.

So on and so forth, It's not difficult.

My point is that if I define a metric for easier to use by a beginner programmer (child) then C syntax > Python syntax

If you define a different metric, maybe pretty syntax then it would compare in reverse.

They are, and that is one of the nice things of a type system like this. (I believe that's the "dependent types" bit.) It lets you express quite powerful theorems about (simple?) programs without having to stray too far from the language.
C/C++ is one of the domain were 60+ year old can shine - if you had been writing code in it regularly. These are the languages that are hard and requires years of experience and bit of history of evolution.
Yes, having separate "sub-languages" for types and terms is a hindrance if we want to have types which depend on values (AKA dependent types).

Besides the obvious advantage that we only need one language, we can also get away with using a single abstraction form (dependent functions) to implement both normal functions and type variables (e.g. "big lambdas" in SystemF).

There are still reasons we might want to avoid doing everything with dependent functions: in particular, it's not obvious (or possibly even decidable) whether a dependent function's argument can be erased or not (i.e. whether parametricity holds for that argument). For this reason Conor McBride has argued that languages should have a parametric "forall" quantifier (like Haskell's existing type variables) as well as the "pi" quantifier found in dependently typed languages (e.g. https://www.reddit.com/r/haskell/comments/390dyx/conor_mcbri... ).

Note that both quantifiers would still be used within one language, and both could be used with both types and values.

I'm not sure how/whether substructural types/logics like the linear and affine features of this language would interact with this distinction though.

Yes, I understand what government subsidies are and how they work. But if I'm not the one subsidising the product then I don't understand how me benefiting from that is a bad thing for me personally.

The US subsidises gasoline quite aggressively when compared to other countries around the world. You can see this in fuel costs; routinely US gasoline used to be cheaper by the gallon than Australian gasoline was by the litre. I've never once heard an American complain that their fuel is too cheap despite the fact that their taxes and government are directly responsible for said low cost.

> I don't get why so many people tout discord as this god send of a service.

Because it is free as in beer. History teaches us free as in beer whilst paying with privacy/ads wins from paid. Example: Android.

All the alternatives (Ventrilo, TeamSpeak, Skype, Mumble) are much worse than Discord. They're either not gratis or they are not portable or they're more difficult to set up, or their interface or features sucks, or they're centralised (while Discord uses anycast and multiple servers behind the scenes). Discord is also a voice chat and chat server in one with the latter having resume support when you're AFK. This lead to entire (gaming) communities residing on Discord.

I dislike Electron as much as anyone else but it isn't a dealbreaker for most people; just a memory hog and a minus. If the plus outweigh it, it gets chosen. Even though Ventrilo/TeamSpeak/Skype/Mumble use much less resources.

As for Discord the company, they're a startup still, who are trying out business models. Who knows what their next one is going to be.

Indeed, the US presidential election is a joke on various levels.

1. The president is not picked based on the people’s vote. The US is a republic, not a democracy, where government officials cast the deciding votes.

2. The voting infrastructure can be easily tampered with, likely by design as pointed out above.

3. There is no limits on campaign spending, enabling billionaires and corporations to own the winning candidates that got the most airtime.

4. Two private entities have a duopoly on the presidency. They’ve established rules that prevent any new parties from serious consideration.

5. As surfaced by the Wikileaks DNC dump, at least one (if not both) of these parties actively sabotage some of their candidates to ensure the party’s pick a spot in the final national election.
So, in @rygorous's excellent Twitch streams about CPU architecture (first one here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDrorJar0kM), he said that it was basically a myth that x86 architectures dynamically decoded into internal RISC instructions. I am thus a little skeptical of the article in general, since I don't know enough myself to verify each thing.
Private companies acting in a private capacity cannot violate the constitution.

The limits of the Constitution apply to government employees (or even private employees performing a service contracted by a government agency) whether they are on public or private property.

> voting system that is as secure as paper ballots

I think it's not about security per say. It's more about scrutability. While it may be possible to build a system that is more secure in principle it's a lot harder to build a IT-based voting system that a person from the street can comprehend and scrutinize in a days work.
If that is true, then American consumers subsidize Chinese shipping via higher costs of domestic shipping rather than through higher taxes.
Think you are misunderstanding what they are counting.
