You are naively wrong. Every single major short seller uses massive media drive to compliment their billion dollar bets. Turn on CNBC and you will see them in opinion panels all the time. They often leverage everything from editorials to articals that are just undercover FUD spreaders in disguised as analysis. There are tons of websites where you can just look at headlines and you know this is coming from big shark who just put a major bet. Remember constant daily stream of articles on how Tesla will fail, it’s unfixable and is running out of money? Do you really think journalists were writing all that up in unison?
An obvious question: why aren't more CPAP machines generally available for sale to end users? Amazon and Ebay mostly sell accessories. Maybe there's a business opportunity here.

By culture I mean a culture to belong to, traditions and history you can feel linked to and that give you a sense of historical continuity. I'm british though so our cultural history is a bit more ancient than the US and I don't know if national spirit works the same there as a result. It seems the US is more unified by ideas around freedom from tyranny and individual rights.

fair point, I can't tell anything other than that I was so far lucky. I do a lot of web/node development and none of the issues was yet related to OSX (for the whole 4-5 years I'm on mac).

you're 100% correct that apple has crippled version of some tools but it's possible to replace them from brew but I think I know where you're heading - it's probably just easier to use linux when you're doing these things - just like I was switching to mac when I wanted to do node.

BTW: I was switching from windows, not from linux, I actually think linux is fine and I'm happily using it on other machines, just not on this one :-)

This implies that US can't reach the data from Huawei.

So it seems that Huawei is the safest option for any US and European citizen.

I'd rather have my data safe with the Chinese government, a country that is on the other side of the globe and has practically zero influence on my life, that sharing it with the US or my own governments, which are there, and can make my life hell for any or no reason at all, and have the means to actually hurt me.

And yes, if I can't avoid it, I'd much rather share my internet search history with an unknown entity on the other side of the world, than with my own wife.

You might feel that you're "entitled to take a harsh legal view", but the actual legal system would not agree with you.

I don't think we're going to see eye to eye, and you've also never been a landlord or had any exposure to any of the legal side of this. It's all fine and dandy to claim that you'd "lawyer up" based on some hypothetical, but you wouldn't, and you'd lose quickly and embarrassingly if you did. I've evicted tenants, sadly, and never once did I worry that some minor maintenance issue from months before that they never complained about would even slow the process down, let alone stop it.
no, because it takes time/effort to keep all that up to date. if wp.com provided it for a fee for wp.com-hosted sites, i'd understand that.

I'd prefer it to be saved locally or sent to a server of mine with some standard protocol (maybe NMEA 0183 over HTTP POSTs) and never to Google. Of course I could write an app for that (and I did some 8 years ago) but it would be much easier if the OS would cooperate.

By the way, I disabled location services on my devices to prevent at least this form of spying on me.

I lost my best friend last year to Crohn's disease. He was only 33 years old and left behind a 5 year old son.

The utter helplessness in the face of such horrific suffering and interminable decline is a pain I wish nobody had to endure.

As my friend worsened, I would rage at friends and family who peddled false hope with their quack "cures", internet remedies, and religious nonsense. But he was the picture of grace throughout his final decline, warmly welcoming visits.

The last time I saw him, he wanted to just chat for a few hours. But I couldn't sit still. I massaged his feet and refilled his water bottle and shifted his body to provide a little relief from the constant discomfort of bedridden life.

At the time, I thought I was helping him. But I realized after he was gone that he was helping me, giving me something to do so that I didn't feel so damn powerless.

I don't know why I'm writing this. I haven't really talked about it with anyone. I think about him every day, and my heart goes out to anybody suffering from a debilitating disease -- both the sufferers and their caregivers. Every day becomes a fight for dignity and humanity.

If I took any lessons away from the horror of that year, it's the power of listening. Just listen. Don't try to judge or fix or explain anything.

I think I helped most when I just sat and listened. I wish I had done it more.

Right. But as the USB-C cable has sockets/plugs at both ends, it’s hard to imagine a situation where it won’t safely pull out at one of the ends, at least.

I’ve had a couple of “trip” incidents with my USB-C MacBook and in both cases, the MacBook did not fly off the table nor was there any damage to the cable or ports. (Both of which did happen to me in the bad old days of pre-MagSafe PowerBooks!)

Last year, I spent a week in Toronto and I absolutely loved it. During a tour of the area, it was mentioned that the tech sector was growing, and that there are loads of initiatives to get tech workers into the city.

There seems to be some decent opportunities in Toronto, but it falls at the most basic hurdle. The salaries are too low, and the cost of property/rent is too high. It's a lovely place, but the world is full of lovely places.

This one might be at the less gratifying end of the spectrum, but if it gets a lot of votes and a worthwhile discussion develops, that generally indicates that it's a solid enough post.

My country, really.

I was born in one of the richest and progressive countries in the world and honestly it has given me so much. I never really thought about it until I loved abroad for a bit and met people from other countries.

I'm not a kid who was always good at school. Actually, I didn't do jack shit until I was 23. I tried 3 different uni's, did high school at the middle level etc.. And at the end of it the government still offered to pay for my year long programming course.

Of course I've always been good with computers but I never studied it properly. I got a good job and life now because even after 3 failed attempts I was still supported and I'm more than happy to pay it forward.

And also my loving parents who have never been mad with me and always supported me even through my games-way-too-much high school period and other weird quirks I had to overcome.

There's also the fact that historically those evil Chinese were those that had been attack (from colonial UK and co, then from the axis powers, etc.) and not the ones doing the attack -- whereas at least one European country (Germany) had been under US attack, and many had internal meddling (Gladio, dictatorships, corporate espionage, diplomatic meddling, etc to this day).

Most of the time I'm doing partial commits it's because of squashing them into older commits via rebasing. Rebasing allows you to run an arbitrary command (e.g. your test suite) after each step and will pause the rebase if it returns non-zero.

Why don't you buy clothes from a thrift store? Maybe you (or maybe not...) don't want to look like a hobo.

Why does wearing clothes from a thrift store make you look like a hobo? Because they are so cheap, people with very little money can buy them.

That is why clothes are so expensive. They, to a certain degree, flaunt your wealth, or at least show that you probably aren't a hobo. This is pretty important to people, or no one would pay so much for clothes.
As I suspect you may already know, this is dependent on the server 1) indicating support for byte range requests and 2) correctly implementing it.

I don't think I have noticed Firefox getting worse at this over time, but I'm not downloading large files every day. Would you be willing to share where you're noticing this?
That’s a fair point. And I guess with e.g. Minio you could selfhost too.

S3 is great and in fact, at Transloadit we deploy a content ingestion network (reverse cdn) of many regional tusd servers, close to our customers’ end users, but they all ultimately save to S3 using multipart. We’re happy S3 customers.

So why the extra layer. Because this let’s us offer resumability below 5MB, lower regional latencies, roll our own auth, and switch to a different cloud provider without introducing breaking changes at the customer facing side (assuming the new cloud bucket provider does not offer an S3 compatible interface, or even just a slightly incompatible one)

Ultimately you’re still locked-in with AWS protocol-wise, and there’s no community platform for advancing it, so addressing any of these issues is going to be hard.
Look there is absolutely no debate that the US post-WW2 has been a force for good _in Europe_. They helped us rebuild, overcome communism and reunite under EU flag. Every single European owes a lot to the effort Americans put in to support us. And yes, I know they also did that because it helps them but you can't deny they've basically kickstarted every country that is now in the OECD. That generation of Americans will go down in history as some of the most influential humans ever. On par with Napoleon spreading the metric system and trade, the UK spreading the industrial revolution etc...

But they are also, really, unpredictable lately. George W. Bush was reelected after(!) starting 2 wars. Donald Trump is...well... unpredictable. And I have yet to see him be ousted in 2020. Let alone what the next Donald Trump looks like.

Imagine if someone came along with the same ideas who actually knows how to get stuff done in Washington.

It's just better to be self-sufficient in anything relating to critical infrastructure. As the Americans themselves say: hope for the best, prepare for the worst.

Since when did insurance companies become doctor advisors? That's very alarming.

If you want to, you can make this sound sinister. But it's pretty common, and the reason behind it is simple.

Many people who need medical care do not see a single doctor for all of their needs. They have a primary doctor, but also see one or more specialists, perhaps have occasional visits with a nurse, deal with a pharmacist, may sometimes need to go to a clinic that's open on a day they can't get an appointment with their regular primary doctor, etc. etc.

Out of that potentially large pool of providers, how many do you think are automatically and quickly sharing full records with the primary doctor? How many others of them receive that level of records from the primary doctor and from all the other providers? How many of them even know about all the others' existence?

This is a genuine problem, because it means that none of them see the full picture of the patient's health. They see isolated bits and pieces of it. And that's dangerous. Pharmacists get a reputation as the last line of defense for many people against different doctors -- ignorant of each others' existence -- unknowingly prescribing badly-interacting and possibly fatal combinations of medications to a single patient, for example.

In the US system (and this is not an endorsement of it), there is exactly one entity that sees everything: the payer (i.e., insurance). All of those providers want to get paid for their services, so every one of them submits claims to the payer, including details of diagnoses, procedures, and so on.

Given this status as the only entity which actually sees the whole picture, it makes a lot of sense to be sharing that information with the medical providers who see the patient. This is part of the original idea behind the HMO model of health insurance (where all the providers are a single super-entity coordinating with each other), though it comes with the widely-hated downside of being unable to see a doctor who isn't part of the HMO. And for many years, even PPO-model insurance plans have introduced more and more active collaboration with providers.

As a person who moved from Vancouver to Toronto, I really don't think this post grasps what opportunities the rest of Canada, nevermind North America or International, has available.

Toronto is expensive. I need to express that. Business operating costs will always be lower of you compare another city to one that is often ranked exceedingly expensive. Relative references are not appropriate since you don't have a baseline. So, use a baseline of what the average operating cost is.

Toronto is HARD to get around. My morning commute is over 1 hour of driving at 5:40am - 6:50am with some variations depending on weekday, accidents, and time of year. My shift starts at 10am. If I leave at 8am I would arrive at 10:30am and be late for work. I hope this perspective shows how hard it is to get into downtown Toronto and how bad their traffic is. (The office is located away from the GO train and there's free parking in case people are wondering why I drive instead of transit.)

Toronto is also a bit old in tech. When I came from Vancouver and went to meetups, I felt like someone had rolled the clock back by two years. It was an odd feeling. The community just felt... Behind. I think this comes from businesses not giving as much time for developers to explore new technologies, hence why there may be larger delays in new tech popping up in Toronto.

Businesses are... Conservative. Having worked in Vancouver and coming to Toronto there was a cultural change that needed to be made. Businesses operated with less focus on employee happiness and talent retention and more on "talent results" (read: work or replaced) and transparency on 3x salary ROI. Banks and conservative businesses practices are very much the norm in Toronto. Very helpful for a business but to an employee, Toronto has a lot of cons for workplace lifestyle.

If you live in Toronto, I recommend working remote with US companies. Or, if you are inclined to do so, move to Vancouver or Calgary. Because of these issues that Toronto presents, I have myself been planning on moving to Calgary in a year or two.

Indeed. There's a dead reply to your comment that mentions eastern european salaries being comparable. That might be a bit of an exaggeration but there are outsource to Canada companies that, I think, are mainly in the KW area and are not really that much more expensive than eastern europe (think like $90k per head vs $70k per head)
At what point did Yahoo’s core business start to shrink or get the stench of being a loser? I have to imagine that Yahoo! acquiring them was a stinker for their users.
