> I don't believe that people disagree along the lines drawn by parties.

There is plenty of evidence that they do, and also that (by comparing to other democracies and over time) this is directly a product of the party system—an electoral systen supporting small number of signficant parties results in a small number of significant viewpoints, mostly divided on the same lines that divide the parties.

> Most political fights are artificial constructs to keep the people busy while the the people in DC and their donors stay in power.

Even to the extent that is arguably
true, that a fight is an artificial construct or a distraction does not mean that the people at whom it is directed don't deeply buy into and incorporate into their identity the side of the fight they have been propagandized into.

In fact, it wouldn't work if they didn't.

That’s...what happened.

Violating sanctions is a criminal offense under U.S. and Canadian law. Huawei chose to do business in America and Canada. Its executive chose to travel to Canada.

This is a difficult story to mangle into a morality play.

Apple is currently trampling Google in messaging.
Which is why a) China hasn't managed to get a whole lot of extradition treaties signed, and b) those treaties generally have exemptions for crimes that are considered "political".

The unusual thing is that the Canada-US extradition treaty allows extradition on such a "political" offense, but that's probably mostly down to the US and Canada having the same position on Iran.

Expecting in couple months, there would be an American executive's nationally televised confession and contrition.
In this particular case, it was that Huawei was purchasing US-made products to which sanctions applied and exporting them to Iran.

I highly doubt that Huawei executives were unaware that this was against US policy and law; they just thought that the US would only punish the corporation and not the people involved, without realizing that the arm of US law extends to a whole web of countries that have extradition treaties with it.

See also the German VW executives who are very restricted in where they can travel to based on their crimes in the diesel emissions scandal.

Could Data Costs Kill Your AI Startup?
I'm upset by this because I just got burned by it last week. I needed their geocoding API for a project at work. I didn't realize I was looking at their old pricing page at first, and came to the conclusion it would cost us about $65 a month. Once I realized my mistake, I did the math again and it came to over $700 a month, which couldn't be justified for the use case. So I've spent the last week implementing the functionality I needed myself. While I agree it's not a 'scandal', it's extremely frustrating and baffling to me.

I was happy with hangouts. When they took away merged SMS...that showed someone seems to be whiteanting the product or just wasn't the right person to make decisions about a messaging app. Then they pivoted to a business focused product, that was the death bell ringing IMO.

What is 'fair' is always debatable, but ... let me tell you one way I look at it.

I see democratic governments as an extension of society; and their most important service is a reasonably stable, safe society (with a few exceptions, there's no rioting; I can walk around the streets without fear of getting killed; I don't even worry about whether I lock my hour or car doors).

Given a live a nice upper/middle class life, I value this a lot, and am willing to pay high taxes for it; if I'm a poor teenager in the ghetto, I'm not getting as much from this; Bill Gates is getting much more than I am from this; it makes sense he pays a lot more than me, and that I pay a lot more than the teen from the ghetto.

Imagine society goes to heck ; do you think Bill (or me :) would keep his money ? his nice life ? his life ? :) If that happens, most people would be worse off than now, but Bill would be much worse off, whereas the teen from the ghetto may only be slightly worse off (and some people might even be better off). It seems 'fair' Bill pays more; it actually seems to me it is smart for Bill to pay more to keep our nice society (which is one reason he, and many other billionaires advocate for higher taxes).
It's a treaty, and there is a formal procedure for submitting extradition requests. For example, here is an article from the US DoJ article on requests for extradition from the US [https://www.justice.gov/jm/criminal-resource-manual-612-role...]:

> All extradition treaties currently in force require foreign requests for extradition to be submitted through diplomatic channels, usually from the country's embassy in Washington to the Department of State. Many treaties also require that requests for provisional arrest be submitted through diplomatic channels, although some permit provisional arrest requests to be sent directly to the Department of Justice. The Department of State reviews foreign extradition demands to identify any potential foreign policy problems and to ensure that there is a treaty in force between the United States and the country making the request, that the crime or crimes are extraditable offenses, and that the supporting documents are properly certified in accordance with 18 U.S.C. § 3190. If the request is in proper order, an attorney in the State Department's Office of the Legal Adviser prepares a certificate attesting to the existence of the treaty, etc., and forwards it with the original request to the Office of International Affairs.

For the Canadian version, see https://www.justice.gc.ca/eng/cj-jp/emla-eej/tocan-aucan.htm...:

"""

There are three key stages to the Canadian extradition process:

The Minister of Justice must determine whether to authorize the commencement of extradition proceedings in the Canadian courts by issuing an “Authority to Proceed” ;
Where an Authority to Proceed has been issued, the Canadian courts must determine whether there is sufficient evidence to justify the person’s committal for extradition; and
Where the person is committed for extradition, the Minister of Justice must personally decide whether to order the person’s surrender to the foreign state.
A person sought for extradition may appeal their committal and seek judicial review of the Minister’s surrender order.

In all cases, the conduct for which extradition is sought must be considered criminal in both the requesting country and in Canada. This is known as “dual criminality”.

Central Authorities from outside Canada are encouraged to contact the IAG to determine what is required to make an extradition request to Canada, including the evidentiary requirements, and whether provisional arrest is appropriate in a given situation.

Is she herself accused of breaking the Iran sanctions or is it Huawei, and as the CFO she's being held accountable? I can't tell from this article or the one from NYT. And it seems like that would be a big difference, and if it was Huawai then the US should just level sanctions against Huawai rather than arresting its executives on criminal charges.

I saw your post at lisp.reddit.com today and there was a redditor there that brought forth webkit security concerns that IMV you did not properly address.

I am an ex-Googler and I happen to know the effort that the Google security team expended when designing the Chrome security model was quite significant. We would all like more competition in the browser arena but running webkit without any security protections like Next browser does is putting yourself at risk, unnecessarily. I urge you to spend some time understanding the security implications of what you are doing.

Hmm. You keep forgetting the important bit. Let me help you out again.

"One can end up in jail by simply hiring nationals from sanctioned countries and then giving them access to documents pertaining to US military technology."

This doesn't just happen to any random employer or any random professor. It happens when you are working for the DoD and you do something you shouldn't. If you don't want to run afoul of such laws, be better informed or don't take government contracts.
I've always expected company references would be in the vein of "Yeah, they worked here those dates," i.e. they didn't just make shit up on their resume. The idea that companies (as opposed to individuals speaking on their own behalf) would provide more than that seems pretty archaic outside, possibly, of cases of serious misconduct. Which I suppose is mostly where the question comes up.
I'd say it's a lot more complexity. The first way most people became aware of the capacity/performance gaps is that a backup couldn't complete before the next one was scheduled. Ah, the good old days. That was the easy case. The system I work on today has a dozen such maintenance activities going on all the time. Making sure they all complete in reasonable time, without affecting the endless stream of new user I/O too much, requires increasingly sophisticated scheduling as the gap gets wider. That's a lot of complexity right there. On top of that, there's this little formula:

load = warmth * capacity

Warmth is effectively constant for relevant time scales, so increasing capacity means increasing load. Scaling out doesn't help in this case, not even with perfect linear scaling, because every bit of added capability brings added capacity and load with it. Until you run out of users, I guess, but those seem to be infinite. ;)

Thus, systems with the same basic architecture get more and more overloaded as per-disk capacity increases, until they become useless. The only escape is to change the architecture, inevitably toward greater complexity (e.g. cache layers and burst buffers). None of this would be necessary with a better capacity/performance ratio. Believe me, nobody wants to make these systems more complicated. But every time that gap gets bigger, there will likely be a new increment of complexity to deal with it

I don't see how that's "proper" or "where it belongs" or any such. It's not that all such systems were poorly designed for the hardware as it was when they were developed. It's that even the best designs have to keep adapting. The demise of Moore's law and the ever increasing number of cores per die or per system have increased complexity in the compute domain. The capacity/performance gap is the storage equivalent.

Do you want your Facebook usage published because any one of the hundreds (thousands?) of the people you interacted with requested their data under GDPR?

It's not just telling the user. Once they info is published said user can turn around and tell it to the rest of the world. Some people have already published their requested data, it seems unlikely that people publishing said data face consequences.

Sure, nothing is stopping people from scrolling through chat logs screenshotting them. But that's difficult to do at scale, so there's de-facto limits on how much info can leak this way. Also consider the situation in which you unfriend someone, thus preventing them from seeing past chat logs - I think, I haven't used Facebook in a long time. If that person does a GDPR request should the company deliver data that the user is otherwise prohibited from viewing? If GDPR does mandate this it seems like a legally-mandated side channel attack.

See, I feel like python has a lot of those benefits and the package management doesn't need to be so complex.

Seriously, python package management can be fairly simple. On most of our machines at work, it's just "virtualenv .env && source .env/bin/activate". Then you install your packages and... everything is in one directory, like node_modules in javascript.

A clean reinstall is easy from there: remove the .env and just repeat.

I feel like pipenv violates KISS, and that a more traditional virtualenv/venv/pyenv setup is the way to go.
