Well I'm on the UCLA faculty and it's definitely being discussed pretty widely amongst my department.
Every economy has a plateau then a fall, then a pull back up again. I think the aggressive trade stance and hard line politics by China might have played a major role. As it’s frightened both the local businesses and foreign businesses and lead to all global powers starting to put tariffs and trade barriers up, all due to China wanting to get away with pretty blatant violations of fair trade, huge import taxes on foreign goods, great firewall blocking any foreign purchase easily, hugely subsidised mail, forced ownership sharing, lowered safety regulations, lack of pollutant regulation etc. chuck in a house market with terrible quality at a high price and you’ve got a balloon waiting to pop. I don’t blame the Chinese for wanting to buy any house outside of China. But they’ve taken their “build junk make bank” mentality to the world and it can’t last much longer.
There's a difference between the time it takes to solve a problem, and the time it takes to implement the solution.

How long till we solve renewable production/storage problems? How long to refine those solutions to the point where it takes 7.5 years to deploy the solar equivalent of the Bruce Nuclear Generating Station?

The time between then and now is the amount of years the world will be burning coal.

A better solution to the closed access problem would be to only cite open access articles. Sometimes that would mean not citing the original article but some open access meta article that made the findings publicly accessible.

I actually think it’s fair to not cite articles that you cannot reach with reasonable effort. It’s the authors choice to make it inaccessible.
Distractions from ITER would be welcome. The power density of ITER is ~0.05 MW/m^3, some 400x worse than the power density of an LWR reactor vessel (and 2000x worse than the power density of the LWR core inside that reactor vessel). It's a project where research money goes to die, and new materials are not going to help that.

rkt was needed to push a number of ideas forward in the ecosystem at the time (4 years ago, 2014) and part of its legacy is the creation of technologies that provided plugin interfaces for the container ecosystem.

The Container Networking Interface was directly created by the work in rkt and continues on today inside of Kubernetes and the CNCF. This work made it possible for an ecosystem of networking solutions to exist that could take advantage of everything Linux has to offer.

The creation of the Kubernetes Container Runtime Interface (CRI) was also spawned, in part, by the existence of rkt and the need to consider container runtimes for use with Kubernetes. It was a long hard engineering effort but I think the separation that CRI forced the kubelet to go through and the competition of various runtimes is good for the ecosystem and the resilience of the Kubernetes project.

It is very unlikely that rkt will be part of the Kubernetes ecosystem at this point with the existence of containerd, and CRI-O as Kube CRI solutions on Linux. And there were missed opportunities on a variety of fronts along the way. But, rkt continues to be used by many organizations for other niche use cases of containers. And the shifts that rkt caused above were positive improvements for the Kubernetes ecosystem.
> There's a difference between the time it takes to solve a problem, and the time it takes to implement the solution.

No, there isn't. A problem isn't solved until a solution has been fully implemented.

There is a difference between that and the time it takes to identify a solution in principle.

The problem is that this tactic actually empowers Elsevier. Without a credible threat to the status quo, nobody at UCLA or any other university has any reason to change what they're doing.

It's hard to imagine anyone at Elsevier falling for this bluff. They probably came in with a 40% increase knowing they'd only get 20%. After the letter, they drop the increase to 20%, then everyone claims victory and goes home.

But each round in which the OA card is played makes the bluff that much less credible.
Building a Python 3.6 Seed App with Linting, Testing, and Containerization
this has barely anything to do with the lack of library access. The point is that if they refuse reviews emphatically it might reflect badly in future submissions they make to elsevier's journals.
My main tip is to get good at falling without hurting yourself, which mostly means don't stand up too straight. Stay a bit crouched, even when going straight. Then, if you do catch an edge, you won't get quite the body slam, and it'll be easier to get up and try again. The downside is this will burn out your quads.
Regarding the DW article - it’s not really racism (not to mention that these incidents are very rare). Racism is a belief that your race is inherently superior or that the other race is inferior. While it’s probably not an uncommon belief in the US, very few people in Poland believe that. These attacks were about xenophobia - fear of the others - in this case fear that the others will spread terrorism. Of course, it’s an completely unfair generalisation (that people who look Arabic are likely to be terrorists), but not nearly of the caliber of the racist “you’re black, hence you’re just a lesser human being”.

Regarding the brainwashing - wouldn’t it be enough to explain to children that racism is just an unscientific, morally abhorrent belief? Why is there a need to push the idea that diversity is beneficial? It’s an unjustified belief which leads to comical conclusions, ex. that a two-person team, consisting of a black and a white mathematician! will be better than a team of two black or two white mathematicians.

It feels to me that whoever pushed this agenda went too far.
People can feel the weakness in the “diversity is obviously good” claim, which makes them suspicious and sceptical of the whole idea.
It's simple, you retrain the model several times removing one sample at a time (leave-one-out cross-validation), until the erratic behavior disappears. You repeat until there are no more instances of erratic behavior. Sorry couldn't resist the attempt at humor, but also consider it as an argument by contradiction that what you are asking is not possible. It's like asking which lesson caused me to hit a forehand over the tramlines. The answer is the one I didn't have time for.

I rent my house right now.
It's a good deal because I don't have to worry about maintenance, property taxes, etc.
But it's only worth it because I rent from someone who only owns a few properties -- he's a small player, so he has time to be responsive to my needs and his other renters' needs.
It's a win-win situation this way.

There would be a problem if I rented from a property management corporation.
Just from a logistics standpoint, they simply wouldn't have as many resources to help me when I have maintenance needs on my (really, their) house.
That's ignoring all the other problems that come with concentrated ownership -- the buying of political power, etc.

I don't know what the answer is, I wish I did.
Maybe something like what you say, a sort of "specialized" ownership.
I don't know what that would look like though.

Nah, It's not even that much. $600 will get you a very good, 3 or 4-day guided trip to the backcountry in Oregon and Washington. You'd be hauling your gear, food and skies/snowshoes.

I don’t think so

This trade war is not being prosecuted flawlessly, and as Ike or somebody like him said, no plan survives first engagement with the enemy.

Trump does not have a unified national intent behind him. I don't agree with him or his policies, in this or any other regard but trying to think dispassionately, I think appointing Bolton to signal strength of will demands having somebody more flexible to negotiate the real outcome.

For example, Trump is probably going to lose the trade war over Iran. They need Boeing spares but if he continues to blackball Iranian trade the future air fleet will be Airbus with loans from Germany and France.

Trump is going to lose a trade war in China because China holds far more US debt than Americans hold Chinese debt and China has far more market reach into emerging markets in Africa since the decision to decouple trade and local politics was made clear: you can trade with China and continue to repress your own people or trade with America and have to clean up your act.
I mean that the major point of offering the checking and savings feature was to get people to sign up (both directly and by referral) for RH and make it easier for them to market trading services—and that it was serving that feature without being launched—not to argue that they planned never to actually launch the feature.
>But the US might've found a way to police it effectively now... soooo why would we not?...

That's just the thing though right?

I mean, if the Chinese are engaging in IP theft in a fashion that is both broad, (across all industries), and brazen, then how effective can our policing methods be?

The only thing we can really do is stop trading with them. Which is really not going to stop them stealing ideas, nor will it stop their domestic market from growing.

The reason every great power in history engaged in blatant IP theft, is because it really has been extremely difficult to prevent it throughout human history. (Greeks were really smart, so Romans and Egyptians stole metallurgy from them.) IP theft is just a hard problem.

No, most consumers in the US either do not have a choice at all, or they have a choice between two equally-shitty companies.

> If a consumer is abused by their vendor and continues to fund their abuser, who should be blamed?

If the consumer does not have a reasonable choice in vendor, then the vendor should be blamed. That's kinda the whole point of this thread.

> If you can't live without their service for one week, maybe their service isn't so bad.

That makes no sense. If you can't live without their service for one week, that says nothing about their service, it just means the product is indispensable.

> If you're not willing to lift even the smallest finger the smallest amount, just keep belly aching to the wind. That will fix the problem.

What choice do people have? If there's no alternative ISP you can use, or if the only alternative is just as bad as what you already have, then there's very little you can do except complain.

So what happens when the value of those treasuries fluctuates? Does the value of these "checking accounts" fall according to changes in the underlying asset? They aren't really cash accounts then. Treasures may be the safest investments, but are not perfectly safe and value still fluctuates based on changes in interest rates. That's a pretty key part of if they should be treated like a retail checking account or a money market account. Also, do these account provide some kind of certainty that they only invest in treasuries? What happens when "Robinhood Home Loans, get yours in 60 seconds or less!" opens up a year from now?

These accounts remind me a lot of the accounts offered by Washington Mutual right before there was no longer a Washington Mutual. Except back then, their bold rate offering was only something like 1.5%. A lot of young dumb people are going to lose their shirts on this one.

Regardless of how the law was written, they didn't HAVE to take all the leeway that was given to them. Just because a company can do something, doesn't mean that they should.

What?

In that regard all Facebook does is giving people the tools to exercise their freedom of speech, possibly with an algorithm for that feed whose effects they couldn't predict, because it was built to maximize profits, not sanity ... and that will never be illegal ;-)

I understand some of the arguments that Facebook encouraged fake news, however speaking as somebody that was born in communism, I can tell you that fake news isn't new, it happened before WW I, it happened before WW II, it happened at the east of the Iron Curtain (at least) during the Cold War, and it happened just as well afterwards.

In my country distributing news via Facebook isn't even that popular, yet fake news is flourishing ... on TV. People are always looking for a scapegoat, for an easy answer, for an easy fix. It's only natural, but it doesn't make it right.

No, I don't think Facebook is to blame for fake news, even if it might have contributed. Facebook can't be responsible for the poor education that people are given.

I'm strongly disagree at this point. Memory management is important even for short-lived programs. It would bring burden to the OS if you invoke this kind of "short-lived, memory-management-free" programs multiple times.

The best way to deal with them is not to turn them into a figurative martyr and make people wonder what you're trying to hide, but to convince others their ideology is stupid by putting it on display and publicly rebutting it. You may even convince them to change their ways, rather than just build up the anger and resentment.
Spacesuits for Spiders
The biggest company in world (MSFT) defines their entire office suite in XML. SOAP on the wire is the most efficient M2M protocol for conveying strongly typed message payloads.

That does not point to a particular excellence of XML. XML was designed as a markup language and thus people came up with XML-based domain specific languages with which they could define trees of data and metadata for storage and payloads.

So, in effect, what these people are sending back and forth is trees with metadata. You can encode the same information in JSON or S-expressions, and people have already done all that. You just need to agree on conventions for the semantics but that holds even for XML.

XML has the benefit of wide support across platforms, good reference implementations originally, various standard schemas for different data, but technically it has nothing revolutionary: rather, as people who do know XML inside out it's overly complex as a base format for data encoding. Writing a parser compliant to the spce is not trivial.

XML's best feature is probably the fact that the complexity in the structure and syntax of the language is not enforced and you can easily keep your XML simple. That is what most people actually do.

The fact that you can define an office suite in XML is not particularly a merit to XML: Microsoft just decided to use XML to encode their previously binary documents in plaintext. It's not as if they couldn't have done it without XML but some other format, or, defining their formats in XML would somehow make the documents available for anyone to interpret who has an XML parser. The meat is still in the semantics which you have to implement in your export and import code. Whether those semantics are then applied in the form of JSON or XML or pickled Python dicts or whatever is the trivial part.
