There is no moral obligation for them to do so and yes they can choose not to enforce US IP law if they don't want to.

The US can also choose to place massive tariffs on any goods coming out of China, making them highly uncompetitive. Their choice, it looks like.
How dare they give people more options for investment! Despicable.
this will be very useful to me, but I found some corrupted (overlapped) text on https://docushow.com/viewdoc?url=https%3A%2F%2Farxiv.org%2Fp...
I ran into this yesterday. I use Illustrator infrequently, in spurts, to do mapping work for a non-profit that donates our volunteer time to work on mountain bike trails in parks. I last purchased CS6 on a non-profit license because my of minimal use --- a week or two at a time every six months or so --- which really doesn't fit with the subscription model.

I hadn't fired it up since updating to Mojave, and last night when I went to update one of our maps I found that Illustrator CS6 pretty much isn't usable. It's so ridiculously slow that trying to type out a string of text on a blank artboard beachballed and took almost a minute for the 20 characters to display.

The workflow can't move to Affinity Designer because it's not really compatible with AI files[1], and I really don't want to get into the subscription model because even the non-profit license is $200+/year. Thankfully the CS6 perpetual license is for Windows as well, so I can spin it up in a VM... And MS is really good at backwards compatibility.

But it really sucks not being able to use it natively as I have for years.

[1] It'll open the PDF portion, but for a map with lots of complicated lines, these get changed from single paths in Illustrator to lots of curves in PDF. It's a mess trying to put these back together.

If UCLA were serious it would simply walk from the negotiation.

THAT would send a message to all parties. It might actually spur some action on the part of faculty to get off their collective backsides and consider how every day they perpetuate an unsustainable system of scientific communication.

This letter and others like it are moves by third-rate negotiators. Faculty who make publication and review decisions simply don't care about the cost of subscriptions enough. If they did, Elsevier would be on the ropes, not calling the shots.

The letter UCLA sent out will receive widespread acclaim by a vocal minority, and go ignored by everyone else.
This argument makes no sense at all. "Pressure" and "power" don't even have the same units. They are entirely different things.

Let's try to rephrase things in a way that makes physical sense.

There is energy embodied in the Sun. This is the kinetic energy of the electrons and ions that make it up, the energy of the thermal radiation mixed with this plasma, and the (negative) gravitational potential energy.

As the sun formed, energy was liberated by gravitational collapse. This heated up the Sun's material and got things going.

We know (by the wonderful Virial Theorem) that the negative gravitational binding energy of the Sun is ~2 times the internal energy of its particles and radiation.

We can then ask: how does this energy compare to the rate that the Sun is radiating energy? This ratio would give a timescale over which the Sun would cool off, if there was no energy input.

This ratio is on the order of ten million years. But the sun is hundreds of times older than this. So, we can conclude the energy yield of the sun, the ratio of fusion energy output to the initial gravitation energy input that heated it up, is pretty darned good, on the order of hundreds.
If you're referring to Slater, it was not a crime in the U.S., and explicitly legal for quite some time afterwards. See the links I posted in another comment here.
It's not necessarily false - that's up for various attorneys to decide.
So expensive! Only the richest of my friends could go skiing / snowboarding as kids. I wasn’t able to afford it until I was 26. But, then again, in the 80s and 90s, computers were also expensive. I wasn’t able to afford my first computer until I was a junior in college. So, it makes sense that my friends who had computers also went snowboarding.
Previous generations bought homes in early 20s, and paid off their mortgages in 7-10 years, so by their mid-30s their housing expenses were rather low. And inflation helped with the payments too.

Our generation gets 25-year mortgages, and very little help from inflation.
The only difference between the computed goto and the switch is that the computed goto leaves out the initial range check. But are doing simple and costly indirect jumps.

Much better is to keep the ops small (16bit in this case which is the best I've seen, lua/luajit/chez have 32bit, worse languages 3-5 words) to have much more ops in the icache, and to pass around the ptr to the next op, best if relative. Easy with a small jit. This ptr will be prefetched, which is not possible with those indirect jumps, from cgo or switch.

The reality is that most cheap talent (i.e. early career engineers) want to live or work in major cities because there's things to do and the quality of life is simply unbeatable compared to living in even an average suburb of a major city let alone in the middle of nowhere.

On top of that, it's much easier to attract top talent from other countries to cities with at least workable mass transit systems.

In moving to Chicago from a large town, my quality of life easily doubled overnight. Grocery shopping is now only an extra 3 minutes out of my way on the way home from the train station instead of an extra 25 minutes out of my way. I don't need to maintain two cars for my wife and I because honestly, we barely drive because there is no need. I'm starting to consider just getting rid of my car entirely. If I want to go and see Broadway plays, I no longer have to travel over an hour by car, hunt for parking, and then walk 5-10 more minutes. If I want to eat out, there's over 100 restaurants just in my ward.

It's just a better life overall.
I wonder if this the core of Redhat knowing that the clock is ticking, and make sure that critical software that they worked on is available in an open fashion. One only has to look at Sun and MySQL to see what can happen to a once vibrant open source offering after acquisition.
Look the American people have voted for a Republican party who approves of lobbying. Don't get angry when companies actually do it and do it well.
And the tax cuts were bullshit and many economists said so but the American people voted for it overwhelmingly. Because Americans always vote for tax cuts.

All the surveillance in the world won't keep your stuff from being stolen. At best, it might allow the thief to be apprehended later -- but you probably still won't be getting your stuff back.

By the way, I have had my home pretty thoroughly automated for about 20 years now. I do recommend that (as long as you aren't using third party services -- that's a security risk all by itself). It's a lot of fun, not incredibly expensive, and pretty useful.
Right, but my point is that California basically requires a full year's worth of training (1600 hours) in order to be licensed, which seems to cost approx. $16k at some of the schools I just looked at. From looking at one random course book, that consists of:

- 10 hours of training on state law
- 75 hours of training on infection control
- 200 hours of training on chemical hair control
- another 1,265 hours on other topics (shampooing, hair shaping, hair coloring, styling, business skills, etc.).

Perhaps those first three areas are important perquisites to being licensed, but the extra 1200 hours seem like something the market could sort out without being a prerequisite for receiving a license.
I'm glad you agree that debt isn't necessarily bad.

The anecdote about secured mortgage debt might apply equally well to government debt. Most debt is serviceable.
> How you made the leap from, "Defending oneself from an accusation inherently entails discrediting the accuser" to, "knowingly lying and needlessly insulting people is okay" is a mystery to me.

Ah, I'm sorry that was unclear.

The word "discrediting" is ambiguous. It's sufficiently general so that it's hard to make a moral statement about it. You can discredit someone by pointing out flaws in their statements. You can discredit someone by lying about them. There are lots of ways to discredit people, so just saying that it's OK to discredit the accuser doesn't really imply any specific moral principle. It's not a useful statement.

Does that help?

Edit: whoa, crap, I missed something. I did not say "the subject at hand did neither of these things." I said "we have not established whether or not Kavanaugh was lying, and I'm not saying he was." Close one there!
> That suggests your C compiler isn't doing jump threading

And even if he has such a compiler (which is doubtful) he doesn't have to put the "break" in the switch! He can write continues, e.g. this:

switch ( i ) {
case 3:
i = 7; continue;
default:
continue;
}

is valid C, and specifies explicitly that the next loop pass is expected.

Genuine question but what policies are the reasons for the epidemic of the three death causes you just mentioned?

4chan tried this based on a script called Robot9000 (by Randall Munroe). Not to imply causation (since there are a ton of cultural factors as well), but that board is now known as the breeding ground of the incel and redpill movements.

I do think the R9K script itself is a good idea though.
> What I’m interested in though is the objective reality of this matter, i.e. whether or not diversity is beneficial for child’s development.

There isn't an objective reality. Depending on what you personally value, diversity could be a cost, benefit, or neutral for your children. You may not even know the results until much later, and even then it will be hard to discern the causal factors, though you may try to posit them.

It could also just come down to "I like living in a diverse environment because it's more interesting for me, and I'm only going to live once".
I'm not an accountant so take this with a grain of salt, but no a SAAS company would not have a zero book value. The software powering the company is an asset and should be a quite valuable one. A zero book value company would be something like a consulting firm.
Or the president of SIPC is not speaking authoritatively for the organization and doesn't realize the RH lawyers have already been talking with SIPC about this.

Of course, maybe that didn't happen, but between the idea that RH would build and announce a new product without running past the proper regulatory authorities, and the idea that the president of SIPC might just be wrong ... well, the latter seems more plausible to me.
The thing is, many things have been tried, nothing has been particularly effective.
The problem is that the allowed two- and three-letter words matter the most, and using a game-specific dictionary at least provides an authoritative list, if not a good one. The omission of "ok" from the official dictionary is likely deliberate, and there is at least some etymological reasoning behind that. The inclusion of "za" is more nonsensical, but as a two-letter word which uses "z", it's extremely common in gameplay, and could be argued as being important enough to merit inclusion simply to make the game easier. I'm not sure that there is any good solution to this. I think that high-level Scrabble might simply fail to be a very good game.
Edit: apologies if this is sounding hostile.

Our inner thread has reached it's max depth, so I'm replying here. We'll probably have to end this conversion because of that, so here's my final response:

> But the customers are not obligated to tip

> If you are a regular and stiff the server, 99% of the time you just get average service and a server complaining behind your back.

> There's no way this is a negative.

So you're telling me if I'm a regular at a spot and I want to strictly pay the required amount for (food+environment+service) and nothing more, then I should accept "average service" and being complained about in the kitchen? That's exactly how you lose regular customers.

> If you have a really high care factor on a particular day you'll try to be nicer and work a little harder than you might otherwise.

Employees should be just as nice and work just as hard as the employer asks them, because that's their job. The people with the money (employers and customers) make the rules, not the worker.

> If you are a regular, and recognized as such, and known to be a good tipper, you will most likely get better service.

This is exactly the behavior we're trying to stop. Service should always be good.

> Nobody, as a rule, messes with your food. If you're eating at the kind of place where people would screw with your order because of your tipping, they're going to screw with it for other arbitrary reasons too.

I know several people who've either been first-hand responsible or been whiteness to others performing gross things to people's food. This is edge-case for sure, but still a reality.

> your main reason is you don't like doing it for some personal reason, but you're afraid of the social consequences if you don't.

My main reasons are:

A) tips are taxed and aren't the "gift" people think they are. This is how the government allows employers to reduce a workers minimum wage down to like, $2.xx or something, and you won't find any worker who is happy about that, only employers and government.

B) it creates a favorites-game between employees and customers, not something I'm interested in as a customer. The only people who like that system are people who get the benefits from it. Those who get screwed, get screwed.

C) This standard doesn't span the entire service industry, and wait staff have no special place in my heart that the rest of the industry doesn't also have.

Also, why do you say "stiff" when referring to someone paying the full and complete amount of their meal and service? To 'stiff' literally means to cheat or steal. As you say, the customer is not obliged in any way to pay more. Using this term is bully tactics, telling people that not paying extra makes them bad in some way.

---

I've realized that the problem here simply lies in which perspective we value more. Do we accept that the customer should help pay the wage of the worker with a taxed donation, or do we accept that the customer should have an easy flat price absent from favoritism?
I found it quite an interesting article to read.
There is so much to geek out on with skiing, probably much like anything new.

A few years ago I moved to Austria. Last year my young son wanted to start skiing, so in my mid-40s I'm also learning.

The amount of time I researched which skis and boots to buy would easily be above 40 hours. Then searching the Internet for the best bargains again added more time.

Pretty much after just one season, I'm now into waxing my own skis. Another total geek activity. So many different waxes for different conditions.

Then watching the weather and trying to figure out where the best snow will be for next weekend, that has to qualify as geek.

BBB complaints also work sometimes. Was playing back and forth ball with Verizon FIOS's billing department for a few months. Got tired of it. Filed a BBB complaint. Then soon after got a call and magically the issue was solved.
Interesting! But presumably in this setup, one would experience both significant acceleration AND deceleration. Is there any static orientation that would minimize problems for both?
> This letter and others like it are moves by third-rate negotiators

They're perfectly fine negotiators. They just aren't negotiating for open access, but using the threat of defection to extract better terms from Elsevier. That is both rational and achieves, in part and indirectly, one of the open access movement's aims: to reduce the power of journals like Elsevier.
IP is a much bigger part of the economy now, but for the time, U.S. infringement of foreign IP was rampant, and explicitly legal. See the links I posted in another comment here.

I wasn't intending to use that comparison as a real justification of China's infringement; your point is a much better one as far as that goes. I brought up U.S. history in response to the characterization of China's culture as particularly disrespectful of "the rules and customs of other cultures."
I took issue with the abrupt ending of "refused to make depositors whole[...]".

That sounds like unilateral action, whereas what happened was that there was a dispute about how deposit guarantees should be treated within the EFTA agreement, and all parties involved ultimately didn't insist on what they individually felt like doing, but followed the rulings of the EFTA Court.

But yes, it was a big learning experience for everyone involved. But that's exactly the reason it's important to make the distinction.

It's not that Iceland was unilaterally callous and pursuing those relatively small amounts was deemed small potatoes. Rather, EFTA rules were clarified in a way that would also apply to e.g. French depositors in Danish banks should a similar Danish default occur in the future.

What happened with domestic depositors is that the Icelandic state was free to selectively grant benefits to whomever it pleased once it became clear that its banks weren't subject to the EFTA deposit guarantees for anyone.

That's also an important distinction, and is why the action didn't violate the rules of the trade area.
It REALLY clears out your sinuses if you have a lot of mucus (from allergies or a cold). You know how when you blow your nose, you never get everything out? Some of the mucus comes out, but some is driven up into your sinuses because the air is coming from the middle (imagine a tube full of water,and you blow into a hole in the middle... half the water will be blown in each direction)

Neti pot will get all of the mucus out (especially when i do it first thing in the morning, before blowing my nose). It comes back, of course, but having a few minutes of mucus free breathing when you have a bad cold or allergies is amazing.
The acquisition hasn’t even happened yet, so there’s no influence to see just yet. In fact, it’s illegal for RH to change for IBM prior to the acquisition.

Wow. It's uncanny that you mentioned Borzestowo of all places. It's tiny, and I used to own a house there. My mother was buying the house from my uncle — in my name — when I was a child. My uncle still owns the house. It's one of the three wooden A-frame holiday homes right by the lake.

I spent many summers there as a kid.

If you want to reverse diabetes you need at least some fasting. Keto can do a heck of a lot to help, however the incretin effect will cause insulin levels to increase during mealtimes sabotaging the necessary reduction in insulin resistance for your liver and pancreas.

Dr. Jason Fung, a kidney specialist, runs an intensive dietary management program in Canada and has written a book called "The Diabetes Code" that describes the methods they use to reverse Type 2. I would recommend that anyone with Type 2 diabetes read at least that book and maybe also his other book called "The Obesity Code."

> [Britain] tried to levy taxes on American tea,

BTW there's an Indian connection there too (I assume you're talking about the Boston Tea Party).

The cause of that episode was the British eliminating the tax on tea and at the same time giving the East India Company a tea monopoly in the North American colonies.

When I was in school in Boston the official line was that the tea party demonstrators were smugglers upset at the monopoly and reduction in tax (the New England coastline is well structured for and remains a big smuggling area, especially heroin and human trafficking).

I have no idea if the story is still told that way in the Boston schools. I was also taught that the clever colonists used to hide behind the bushes and pop out to shoot the stupid British marching down the streets in their bright red uniforms. I know that by 1970 that narrative had been replaced as the guerrilla warfare in Viet Nam was now being presented as "unfair"

None of which is a criticism of the USA or UK, merely a comment on how our narratives "evolve".
FDI is one thing, but remember China, before the trade war even starts, has began to remove benefits from the foreign companies and replace them with domestic companies.

A larger picture here is China is going through its own deleveraging campaign. They can't take more debt to stimulate the economy. Traditionally the government would ramp up massive investments in infrastructure or just remove the control over the overheated housing market. Both of those approaches are now out of the table. The infrastructure result in big debt, while the housing bubble is already the biggest probably in human history. It is unfortunate for the Chinese government to run into the trade war with US now, but it only accelerates the coming of the inevitable, the delayed reckoning.

But China is big enough to make its problem, the world's problem, just like US. It won't be the first to fall in this game, even though it might start it.
