"The person bringing into existence that app for your local pizzeria..."

I don't think that's what's going on at Mr. Liemandt's Code Grinders as it would be completely impractical.

The pizza place would most likely need a lot of help in having something useful built for them, website or app. It would take hours and hours of back and forth to get their business requirements nailed down. Communication, and trust, are the key elements at this point.

Then when development starts, your going to need to show them progress, get feedback, and revise. Then you're going to need to do QA side by side with the pizzeria to make sure you've met their needs.

Picture this all happening through email, or Slack, or some portal with someone in another country, with ESL, and maybe a different time-zone. I've seen it, and I tell you what happens. When it's all said and done the pizzeria takes it to someone they can sit at a table with and figure out how to fix/use/abandon it.

And those payment gateways? Don't get me started. Even PayPal, a huge company with lots of resources, has a terrible muddle for their APIs. There are exceptions, but I've always been surprised by payment gateways lack of quality.

I believe Akamai has implemented QUIC but I haven't heard of any other CDNs that have.
They have accurate, high quality reporting on a wide variety of subjects. You are lying if you read the economist cover-to-cover every week and you don’t learn one “unique” piece of information, unless you are regularly keeping track of every country in Asia, Africa, etc.

If something is in The Economist, is isn’t breaking news, and it’s more like an assessment of a newsworthy situation from the neoliberal viewpoint. I find it very interesting compared to other news sources, definitely worthy of my subscription.

> insurers may agree to pay higher prices for some services, while negotiating lower prices for others, to achieve better overall value

That would make sense if they were paying everything. It's a really nasty trick when they negotiate for higher prices on things they don't cover in exchange for lower prices on things they do.
Is it fair to call it "nationalism" though. That word has a bit too many meanings, but universally it includes the idea of doing something on your own in a selfish fashion. The desire to be independent from an oppressive regime is orthogonal to nationalism.

I am saying this as a Bulgarian citizen, one of the beneficiaries of the fall of the Ottoman empire (the Ottoman government was very oppressive to my people for centuries up until 150 years ago). It is not selfish nationalism that liberated us, it was the desire to stop being abused by a conqueror.
It may, but it's a hassle to set up as it requires a separate server daemon (for which I don't understand the necessity, as a git repo itself can be stored on a server over ssh).

This is hilarious. Most of Western Europe does not vaccinate against chickenpox.

Of course, there’s no large reason for them to switch from whatsapp. It’s reliable, free, has no ads and it’s encrypted. Yes, privacy is an issue, but most people don’t care about that all that much. What they do care about is being annoyed or paying. If they give people a reason to move by making the app significantly worse through ads then people will move, and once people start moving it will be fast. Sure, people will need to keep two apps around for a while to deal with stragglers, but that is a minor inconvenience that will become unnecessary fast.

A free chat app does not have much lock in. Just look at what happened to e.g. MSN.
I think there's a lot of unfair finger-pointing at Huawei. China's hacking program is very prolific and has some impressive achievements. There's no reason why the Chinese government couldn't have found vulnerabilities in Huawei equipment and conducted a campaign that way, especially since that equipment is internet-connected at all times.

I agree with your first sentence, but it's not just about monetary cost. Saudi Arabia is Iran's strongest rival in the Middle East. Finland cutting off arms sales has negligible geo-political cost. But the US cutting off arms sales might have the impact of strengthening Iran and thereby making a homocidal near nuclear power whose leaders have advocated genocide in the past decade the most powerful country in the region.

I think you're missing the big picture. Just ask yourself these two questions:
1. How did they get into "abject, 3rd world poverty" in the first place?
2. Is their current policy direction closer to the era of Deng or that of Mao?
I am hoping this is a logical place to ask this question. And I am seriously asking for a logical argument, maybe not even proof and I am not trolling.

It seems logical that if you get your shots (US traveler) and go to Africa, you are a single person surrounded by millions and the vaccine is supposed to protect you from their diseases.

(Edit: hurd immunity doesn't protect you in Africa, as the majority of people there are no immunized)

But somehow, in the US one unvaccinated child is a risk to a school full of vaccinated children? This doesn't make sense.

The only partially reasonable argument I have heard is that there are "sick" kids who can't get vaccines, so everyone else has to. But then aren't those kids unvaccinated too? And just as much a "threat"? So even this argument is extremely flawed.

There seems to be so much emotion and lack of logic on this topic on the internet. I am genuinely interested in a logical argument not fear mongering.

Edit: I removed the question about "hurd immunity" because people are copy/pasting answers. I actually want think there should be some logic involved in an answer.
Alcatel is French-owned, you can buy their equipment.

The "challenge" to Huawei are legal steps those countries are taking to block Huawei from spying on them, not some argument about the universal morality of espionage. Interpreting this as hypocricity is a result of a conceptual confusion: countries exists to defend their interests, not to enforce a level playing field. Of course it is in the interest of the US to be allowed to do things that others countries aren't allowed to do. For example: the US wants to have nuclear weapons while preventing potential enemies from getting nuclear weapons. Does this seem equally "hilarious" to you?
Politicians need those issues to divide and rally their voters. If they actually solved the problems, they would lose those wedges.

When I went in 2014, a silverback passed within a meter of me. My heart rate spiked, but we kept making soft grunts (a bit like clearing your throat) which is the sound the gorillas use to express deference, so the silverback would know we weren’t challenging him. The only reason I got “hurt” is because we were standing in a wide circle around the gorilla family and suddenly a large female high in a tree behind us came crashing down in a hurry and we tried to discreetly open the ring and give her a gap, but I wasn’t moving far enough fast enough and a branch she pushed knocked me on the forehead! It was a fun excursion and the guides were well organized. I recommend it if you can go!

I’m old enough to remember the late 90s when lots of “teach kids to kode” efforts were spun up and then torn down a few years later when the dottcom crash hit. The general public thought technology was going the way of textiles and all the gumption to teach coding evaporated overnight.

Adding one lesser known example of imho outstanding public transportation service is Vienna, Austria - not the largest of cities, at 1.9 Mio inhabitants, and about half the area of Berlin (or 1/4 of London), still the 6th largest city in Europe.

You can get almost anywhere within half an hour tops, the Metro runs till after midnight weekdays and 24/7 on the weekends, there's an extensive system of Tramways & Busses to cover anything a bit farther from a Metro station.

And you can get a yearly subscription, giving you all-inclusive usage of the services for 1€/day, billed monthly.

This is mostly to stress the point of how much you take such a system for granted when it's available and just works - since I've moved here owning a car would be almost an inconvenience, and even London feels like a horrible public transportation experience.
Punishing people based on public consensus is lynching.

How many rooms in a house do people really watch movies in? A couple of bluetooth speakers covers the 95% case, and just using the crappy laptop speakers or use earbuds or headphones for the 5% case.

Of course it would be nicer if the laptop had better speakers in it, but there are always trade-offs to be made on cost vs benefit, and fairly cheap bluetooth speakers are a pretty good workaround for a lot of people.
I absolutely agree it's had more importance historically, but many of the things you listed don't have much relevance for what people define as an "important" city today. The central location of Chicago I think plays a lot into many of those factors re transportation and mercantilism in particular which aren't as relevant as travel became easier and the internet arose.

In terms of cost, in my experience, it's in line with coastal cities overall besides SF/NYC, maybe a bit lower than Boston.

> Not that many Chicagoans will gush unreservedly about their city. Chicago is not the kind of city that invites unexamined boosterism.

I wouldn't say they gush, but I know a good deal of people from the Chicago area at this point and it's very much in my experience an underlying assumption set they hold.
Ah, interesting. Thanks
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herd_immunity

> "In a population in which a large number of individuals are immune, chains of infection are likely to be disrupted, which stops or slows the spread of disease. The greater the proportion of individuals in a community who are immune, the smaller the probability that those who are not immune will come into contact with an infectious individual."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herd_immunity#Free_riding

> "Herd immunity is vulnerable to the free rider problem. Individuals who lack immunity, primarily those who choose not to vaccinate, free ride off the herd immunity created by those who are immune. As the number of free riders in a population increases, outbreaks of preventable diseases become more common and more severe due to loss of herd immunity."
no, I do not mistake regular text with mathematical formulas. My problem is that I read code as if it was mathematical formulas.
Yes, "probability" but does it "transfer immunity"?

The article says "...large percentage of a population..."

This means hurd immunity is enough so that any child that doesn't get vaccines can safely go to school as long as a "large percentage" does.

But "hurd immunity" is often stated as a way to make others "immune" or protected, but it doesn't seem to be the case at all if it's just percentages?

Edit: I notice down votes with no logical responses?

On the other hand, if by sheer chance you happened to be born in a low cost economy, why should you benefit from that at the expense of someone else? You didn’t earn it after all. Both scenarios are just accidents of birth, nothing more.

Everyone gets paid at a rate relative to their local cost of living, remember. Being “cheaper” offshore is merely an artefact of exchange rates and tariffs.

Maybe we need laws against abusing the network effect, which is akin to monopoly. The networks should be split in multiple segments and they should be forced to implement a public protocol to communicate between them, and with other networks. Moving from one network to another should be like porting your cell phone number to a different operator. It's ridiculous that we imposed such strict rules on phone networks when people use SMS and voice calls less and less by the day, but not on internet based services that offer similar functionality (communication). It's a public interest issue, just like in the case of net neutrality and eminent domain.

That resource says he was paid for every 32 pages. In any case, it seems like for at least some of his early books like The Pickwick Papers, he was paid proportional to volume of output and not to sales/quality. (For some of his later works he earned a percentage of sales.) It's a perfectly fine model for people who aren't already as famous as late-career-Dickens and it can nonetheless produce profound work.
China has gone from an undeveloped nation where people were literally starving to death by the tens of millions, to one of the most powerful and economically successful nations in the world. And they did this all in less than a single human lifetime. This trajectory of success is unlike anything we've seen anytime in human history excluding growth from military expansion. They're greatly outpacing the United States' rise from backwoods colonies to the most powerful nation in the world, and they've even exceeded reconstruction era Japan. If they can maintain even a fraction of their current momentum and trajectory, China is well on the path to becoming the most powerful nation in the world. And that role is implicitly accompanied by the privilege of being able to heavily influence the path of our entire world and, consequently, species.

So yes I think it's completely absurd to suggest they've achieved anything short of remarkable success with their system of development and governance. But the question is what will happen in the process of this success and whether the path they've taken is sustainable or not. Is their growth indeed on the current exponential it seems to be on? A sigmoid where this wildly exponential growth will start to level off, or perhaps even something like a bell curve where the rapid ascent will be met by a comparably rapid decline?
> I think the lack of mention of GPUs in the post means the answer will be "no", but is this an area where open-source folks could realistically someday lean on the GPU for any help with decoding at all?

Very very hard to do, with standard GPU APIs. You need GPU assembly to do great stuff, and this is rarely available or cross-GPUs.

Also, the issue is that, after SIMD, the run time of the things that are easy to parallelize (therefore GPU-izable) is around 25% or 30%. Which could offer some improvements, but not a x2 improvement.

Also, CPU <-> GPU memory transfer need to be avoided, on desktop, or mobiles where the memory access is not uniform, because this adds a lot of I/O latency.

So, some things are doable, but a full "GPGPU decoder" is unlikely...
First time I heard it was in a documentary back in the 80s and the phrase was referring to the great wall of china.

I included the part on free-riding/non-immunized populations because as the number of free-riders increases the effectiveness of herd immunity decreases, which I believe directly addresses your point of why people do care how many people are not immunized. You may not agree, but that's the reason people care.
