I think it's not worth it. I rather not use Datastore for anything from now on. You have to cut your losses at some point. We are using microservices so it's not hard to make the change(though we loose some tools we designed for datastore).
Then if we are too follow your logic, wouldn't it a much bigger priority to put a huge tax (at least 75%) on all inheritance over a certain amount (let's say $10 million)?
The next shock that Silicon Valley and US government will face in the near future is when the next social media monopoly or communication service is from a Chinese owned company. Imagine if wechat had won the messaging war vs whatsapp. This is bound to happen sooner than later - eq Tiktok is coming close to disrupting Youtube/Instagram.
Isn't the autopilot in a tesla pretty similar to what is called autopilot in an airplane?
Maybe it shares a beam instance per AWS account. Definitely curious about the isolation level of lambda in general since the same comment also applies to the JVM.
IMHO some kind of logic preprocesor should take care of this before the actual compilation.
Calling a search engine AI seems a little strange.

>violates international norms

The international norm (Microsoft, Apple, every other big company) is to obey China's command.

> Google shut out privacy and security teams from evaluating project Dragonfly.

From the article it sounds like that happened in 2017, before the AI principles existed.

>would make it impossible for Chinese users to use Google to find information about this very controversy

It wouldn't make it impossible, it's already impossible. (Assuming you don't use a VPN.)

> The (user) benefits do not substantially outweight the potential for grave harm

What grave harm would be caused that doesn't already exist?
Not another one of these proprietary-source-masquerading-as-free apologist articles. At least it's less tone deaf than the last one (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17951235), but it's still rather tone deaf, accusing the OSI's declaration that the license isn't open source of being "myopic" and calling them policy wonks for like, just getting in the way of business, bro.

If the OSI is as incredibly irrelevant as the author claims, why even try and work with them? If you believe they're just "policy wonks" and have no other effect, what gives?

Maybe this guy has a point somewhere but I can't help but get distracted by the fact that people who think the way I do are being talked down to.
I thought Twitter might somehow be pertinent to the hack but, apparently, this person just happens to have a Twitter account.
Not all the goverments are irresponsible. Just use a different currency(i.e eur). It's pretty clear to me now that in practice goverments do a better work(stability wise) than the free market.
Chat works better than forums.

Speaking as a library maintainer, I've got GitHub issue that stayed there for months before I replied. That's because my time as a contributor is very limited and I get fatigue when replying to too many support tickets.

And you'd think, oh wait but there are other people willing to reply. But not really. Forum, email groups, even StackOverflow only work when the projects you're talking about are insanely popular.

This is because of two reasons:

1. people with problems are bad at describing those problems — this is why StackOverflow answers often don't answer the freaking question, but rather try to guess what the author wanted, a trend that's driving me insane, because I often want the answer to the question being asked and not something else; whereas on a chat channel, people have conversations, which helps clarify the intent

2. people are afraid of being wrong; but chat is more casual, so in my experience more people end up participating

Chat has other benefits. You can have off topic conversations, you can make jokes, you can make friends. I do wish Gitter had threaded conversations. They promised it at some point but nothing came of it.

Also, I do like Discourse (https://discourse.org). It does a good job to mix some chat features with forums. Scala has Discourse forums, like for example https://users.scala-lang.org ... but the Scala Gitter channel is way more popular.

And one final thought: I know communities that have virtually no meaningful online presence. You might be annoyed at our choice for using Gitter, but at least you've got some chat channels to go to.
Just eBay.

Not mine. It has no record of any of my past rent payments, bill payments, etc. since I paid them all on time without using debt.

We do, however, tax inheritance :)

Yes, inheritance tax makes a lot more sense than a "dementia tax" (if you pay any attention to UK politics you'll have heard that expression).

>“The situation is a bit of a puzzle because Autopilot is supposed to detect if a driver's hands are on the wheel and disengage if they're not.”

Lack of information in these still-developing stories makes for some entertaining discussion. We can conjure up all sorts of theories to explain the unexpected phenomena.

I think the sleeping driver was slouched against the wheel and engaging the two-hand steering touch sensor.

that is a possibility, but there are key differences that come to mind. one is the different environments. two, the commercial airline pilots are working when using auto-pilot. they are flying the airplane via automation and are still very active in working with the plane and computer systems. they are still performing their jobs. of course, there are still issues, for example the recent boeing plane crash. but to me, it isn't comparable to the tesla situation, especially given the apparent idiocy of tesla owners who have completely bought into the hype compared to professional pilots who actually remain active in flying the plane.

It's even worse - it means "wide character", which is not necessarily Unicode. E.g. on all BSDs, if your locale is something like zh_TW-Big5, then wchar_t stores Big5 codepoints! You can use it to store UTF-32, of course, but all the wcs* standard functions won't treat it as such.

Now, there's __STDC_ISO_10646__, which, if it is defined by an implementation, means that wchar_t is guaranteed to be a Unicode codepoint. So e.g. glibc defines that, and on Linux you can therefore assume wchar_t as UTF-32 regardless of locale. But BSDs don't. And on Windows, nothing that uses 16-bit wchar_t can use that define, since 16 bits aren't wide enough to be conforming.

In addition to the optimisations already mentioned, loop unrolling also typically enables vectorisation in compilers. You might argue that for vectorisation it is not exactly necessary to have the relevant oerations next to each other in a continuous instruction stream, but it makes the vectorisation pass a lot nicer and simpler (if it can be called that to begin with).
I think my favorite feature of usb-c is the symmetric design. Not needing to check if I have the usb plug oriented correctly takes me from about a 50% success rate to 100% success rate on plugging things in correctly.

I've read through your argument multiple times and it still doesn't make sense to me.

> Your leaders at Intel appear to know more about business than you do: that it is higher risk over the long term to lose market share, because that gives your competitors revenue to support R&D and opportunities to work with and leverage a customer base to develop a better product.

Why would Intel be losing market share by not manufacturing chips in China? They may still manufacture the same number of chips but with less profit.

> China has no problem making a CPU on their own. They just can't make a commercially competitive CPU, yet.

Pretty sure parent comments meant processor fab tech in addition to processor tech. That is, tech that makes it possible to manufacture a competitive CPU at competitive costs.

Obviously that publication didn't go over well with the keto crowd, and they found a lot to pick apart (See 1 and 2). The most relevant critiques:

Methodology-wise, the prospective study seemed pretty poor

* Those people filled out questionnaires on their eating patterns on two occasions, six years apart. Their health was followed up for 25 years, allowing for factors that might alter the results, such as smoking, income and diabetes. (the assumption presumably being that they ate the same for the rest of their lives? IMO this seems to make any results pretty much worthless)

* low carb in this study is defined as "low carbohydrate consumption (<40%)" - typically LCHF is understood to be 50-100g, so typically 10-20%, and keto is even lower (5%)

* The PURE study was cited as part of the meta-analysis but another analysis in the Lancet actually came to the findings that: "Higher saturated fat intake was associated with lower risk of stroke (quintile 5 vs quintile 1, HR 0·79 [95% CI 0·64–0·98], ptrend=0·0498). Total fat and saturated and unsaturated fats were not significantly associated with risk of myocardial infarction or cardiovascular disease mortality." https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6...

* The "years in life expectancy" is very unusual - usually what's presented is relative risk or hazard ratio and absolute risk. This can be found in the data - from the ARIC study, the HR for high carb was 1.16 and for "low" carb was 1.37 - the annual death rate was 1.63%, so the absolute risk was a difference from 1.38% vs 1.88%. These calculations, and a full analysis of the article is available here: http://www.zoeharcombe.com/2018/08/low-carb-diets-could-shor...

* I noticed that one of the authors listed is Willett, who invented the Mediterranean diet as we know it, and Sarah Seidelmann, the lead author is an outspoken vegan advocate, so it's worth keeping bias in mind when looking at the results. Sadly, the world of nutritional science (especially the epidemiological arm seems to really be as much about personalities as science (part of Ancel Keys' legacy, I suppose)

Actually, since I'm a bit tired of listing out points here are a few other interesting rebuttals that are primarily interesting because they point to all the pitfalls of coming to conclusions from observational studies and meta-analyses (and why nutritional reporting is simply the worst):

You want the loop to not be optimized away because the loop itself is not a part of benchmarked code, it's the benchmarking code. It executes the same thing million+ times so that the total execution time is much higher than timer measurement error, measurement overhead and random OS fluctuations, that would otherwise drown your result in noise.

Clearable is normally good enough where I work.
That $1000 in a year is literally $1000 or so lost opportunities.

That's ~1500 calories/ day for the year buying gas station pizza. It's hard to work when you're hungry.

That's electricity or heat and water for most of a year.

That's a beater to get through a winter.

That's a couple visits to urgent care.

That's cell phone and internet payments for a year.

That's half a deposit on an average apartment.

That's winter tires and months of gas.

How can someone who is unable to think rationally (because they're poor and are at the mercy of capitalists) to keep them homelessness? The reality is terrifying and anyone who can muddle through it without resorting to crime, drug addiction, or being institutionalized is a person of immense strength of mind and character. Arguably stronger and more resourceful people than the multi generational families of inheritance.

What good could $1000 really do for someone?

$1000 to me is insignificant and yet more than half a month's rent. In order to escape this poverty trap I'd need a lot more money, money I'll never have.

Even if I saved as aggressively as possible making sacrifices like eating only the cheapest foods available, buying only second hand clothing, cutting my own hair, biking an hour instead of the 10 minute drive to work, I'd only be able to save $400/mo. An extra $5k/yr at a loss of over half my free time and nearly every empty pleasure in life affords me the ability to what? Spend 8 years getting an outdated associates degree at a community college? I have several friends who did that, currently making more than them with only a HS diploma, yet still dead broke, paycheck to paycheck. Oooh. Maybe 16 years for a bachelor's degree. I'm sure I'll be a desirable applicant in my forties or fifties with entry level skills.

The point is, poor people can't save their way out of poverty like they can't work their way to ceo unless they're actively groomed for better positions. The vast majority of companies are actively removing progression tracked positions and automating the higher skilled positions to further rely on low wage low skill workers that get stuck there. This is a travesty and left unchecked will further the social collapse of this country. You really should get out of your social bubble and interact with middle aged people working minimum wage jobs. You'll find a lot of unlucky but otherwise hard working, honest, reliable, and compassionate people, as well the occasional jerk. Try to get to know the jerk and find out why they're abrasive. Chances are they've had a hard life and their efforts failed to pay off in meaningful ways. Sure some might be truly awful despite having been given every advantage, but those are few and far between.
Google needs to focus on their current trend of killing their apps/services. It is surely affecting brand image and value.
Citizenship questions are illegal but still get asked

It might be written better as, "Cardiometabolic resilience may be neurobiological." Of course, mental resilience being neurobiological would be a banality, however, they are talking about the strength of a specific brain network breaking down an association between poorer cardiometabolic health and neighborhood violence. Definitely a little more interesting, that.

The project I work on used to rely on a relatively old JS table library. It was fairly well maintained and had a ton of great features. However, we eventually had to replace it with a simpler custom solution based on html tables. Compared to html tables, the JS library had worse performance and didn’t work as well on mobile devices.

Our custom solution is basically just a set of conventions for implementing html tables using a JS rendering library. We also wrote a set of single-purpose modules that can be applied to table-rendering views to provide specific features.
Thanks. I deliberately avoided 3rd party dependencies to try and make the code base as small as possible.

I use react native wrappers at work and embed webviews that allow components like these to be used.

That being said, having a react-native variant for this is on the long term road map
It's more expensive to manufacture the same amount of compute power using older processes. That makes old silicon not competitive. From the viewpoint of the consumer, indeed, price per compute power is relatively constant, but from the viewpoint of a silicon manufacturer, newer processes are cheaper per compute power.
Yes, they use it because they don't know how to do the same things in JavaScript - without it you get very awkward import/export for example. Tavis Ormandy already demonstrated in the past that this binary allows turning an extension vulnerability into code running with privileges of the logged in user. So it's very advisable not to install it.

Not that I'm a big fan of LastPass in general, published a number of article on their issues already: https://palant.de/category/lastpass/
What do you mean by, "However, unlike Hangouts, it just connects to your phone to send and receive messages,"? My Google Voice number is my primary number but not my cell-service number. Would messages.android.com send/receive SMS as my Google Voice number or my cellular carrier number?
I use FHEM (https://fhem.de/) to run a periodic ARP scan for "known" mobile wlan. Once the last one logs off the wlan, FHEM switches secondary power sources and lights off after 15 minutes. When the devices log back in and there is insufficient natural lighting, it switches the lights back on.

Another, unrelated, automation step we implemented is an app checking alarms on our smartphones. When an alarm goes off, FHEM runs a script which switches lights on and reads aloud (with Festival) breaking news, the weather forecast and any interruptions on our daily commute.
Can suicidal thoughts on daily basis categorized as depression or just a phase of life? I feel very disappointed at my current life condition and I feel like dying from the inside and feel numb sometimes. I cant afford a therapist at the moment but a lot of people are shrugging my issues as phase of life and I cant help it but feel dejected.

I always wondered about the latency on a successful reverse engineering of something like a modern CPU.

I'd expect there's a huge validation stage involved-- flaws in the extraction process could give you a plausible looking but ultimately faulty design to work with, and you have to check and clean that up.

Moreover, if you don't have exactly Intel's fab technology and oral-tradition knowledge, you probably have to retool the design to be more suited to the process you have.

It might still be a boost over whatever they have to offer now, but by the time it hits the market, it would be a generation or two old.
Value of tax liabilities and distribution of the debtors current holdings (BTC vs $) is a better metric to evaluate acceptable payment forms. Ohio state income tax rate is ~ 0.5% - 5%. Lots of 'businesses' don't owe anything. Accepting BTC may increase the likelihood of {high $ debtors who hold primarily BTC } actually voluntarily submitting payments. These 'businesses' would otherwise will be difficult and expensive try and to collect from.

Is there a point as which Google is just running profit negative in Europe, and they are better off just pulling off business from there? I'd love to see how much of their economy would collapse without Google, let alone citizen unrest. Just a small instance of snippet tax was shutdown pretty damn quick to the impact, imagine the impact of all of Google being pulled out of Europe.
Thanks.

By removing the need for 3rd party dependencies it helps reduce the overall size of the package, made it easier to manage the source of the system, made it easier for developers to import and dramatically increased the performance of the table, Tabulator used to be built on jQuery but that was a beast of a library and eventually became a bottle neck harming performance more than it aided development.

Removing the need for dependencies was also a great learning experience to implement a variety of systems that you would usually go straight to another library for.

When there is something bespoke in one of the extensible modules there are the occasional use of library's, such as the xlsx downloader or the sparkline formatter. but i only use these in optional components and keep the core dependency free :)
Back in 1998, I was 13. For some longer period (at least 8 weeks) I was in a very low mood - sort of existential crisis. By self-diagnosis, I would call it a (mild?) form of depression. When in bookstore my parents asked me to choose a book for myself and ended up with Polish edition of 'God Particle'. Not sure but probably I was more interested in the _god_ aspect than _particle_. Till today I remember some parts of the book quite well. Reading the book gave me a lot of hope and - very likely - directly triggered some recovery processes, which took another 3-5 months btw.
I definitely would be a totally different person if - for longer time - spiralling down the dark thoughts rabbit hole.

My grandfather was fond of telling me about drunks who'd get into their buggy and trust their horse to take them home. I don't think we're too far away from being able to do that with self-driving cars as long as you have the presence of mind to say Google - Home. Society has to decide whether that is a good thing or not.
These fines are quickly adding up to more than their profit in Europe anyways. Once they reach the point of running profit negative in Europe, wouldn't it actually a better business move to pull out?
Not so much browser exploits, but the browser extensions often have issues. If your password manager is a separate binary, you usually don't have to worry about websites exploiting it. On the other hand, it won't protect you against phishing attacks (it doesn't know what site you are on) and will usually require that you to handle passwords via the clipboard.
In the gratuitous conflation of reality and fiction department: almost everything hyping blockchain reminds me of the unique, hilarious romcom Shooting Fish (1997) where a couple of con-artists fake a "next gen" AI computer Turing test with a dude in another room and a computer full of bricks. They also live in a water tower and fraudulently sell homeowners insulation that they move from house-to-house across shared attics.
