> There's no country named "Taiwan". It is the Republic of China

The informal name of the Republic of China is “Taiwan”, just as the informal name of the Republic of Korea is “South Korea”.

> "Taiwan" is the name of the island in Chinese

There is no one language “Chinese”, but “Taiwan” is a transcription of the Mandarin name of the island on which ~99% of the land area of the territory effectively administered by the Republic of China is located. (And also of the province containing the island, both for the ROC and PRC.)
I agree that it could be considered insider trading, but the SEC clearly does not, which is all that matters.

It’s simply undeniable that employees know more than others.

And it’s unrealistic to think that none of knowledge would ever be helpful to better predict the stock price.
If I had to guess without any real numbers I'd say that spyware is a) not reducing the cost of the device anyway (no reason to cut price), b) real profits per device are closer to cents than dollars.

I imagine advertising "Hey, User, remember that amazing Phone Model 1 you could buy for 600$? Now you can buy it with included spying software for your convenience, for the same amazing 600$ and we will earn 20 cents more from each deal! How cool is that, heh?! You want it too, right?!" :)

I really liked how the book comes with no strings attached. Everything you need is in that one small book. No subscription, no rich dad poor dad XVII: buy a cheap house and flip it trash. Just one book to help simplify life.

Might come across as a Kondo shill, the type of which I have called out elsewhere on HN, so I accept any berating due. I do recommend getting it from a local Library, watching the show, or just find a recap online!
I think the reply below, it helps us prioritize our time and set good goals. Maybe look at our motivations, are they outside our control or inside our control? Trying to be honest is not giving up and lying down.

Also agree, failure is complex and society has been known to sweep people under the rug.

Oh! I did not know that, I assumed they were equally specced.
It turns out there are lots of different labels and designations for 'Process Cheese'.

Pasteurized Process Cheese - Cheese that has been made by melting together a bunch of cheeses (Colby, Cheddar, etc.) and emulsifiers. Singles from decent brands (e.g. Boar's Head) are tasty additions to burgers. Highly desirable meltiness qualities.

Pasteurized Process Cheese Food - Like the above, but less 'cheese' and more 'approved other stuff'. Kraft singles, for example.

Pasteurized Process Cheese Spread - Even less cheese, more moisture and other stuff. Designed for melting into queso, etc. Think Velveeta blocks.

Pasteurized Process American Slices - Definitely not cheese. An oil based product. Meant to mimic the desirable melty qualities of Process Cheese.
The Chinese government are legitimately afraid of political speech. Consider for a moment what that implies about the balance of power between the governed and the government. China has no equivalent of Fox News or MSNBC, but that does not mean that the Chinese people are voiceless.

AMD Radeon VII: High-End 7nm Vega Video Card
Since Rome (their server part) uses 8 chiplets for 64 cores it makes sense.

When Rome was presented last year users also speculated about GPU and FPGA chiplets. Playstation 5 rumors also speculate about chiplets to keep the price to performance ratio as low as possible (though I wonder about latency which games are sensitiv to). So going all in on chiplets and reusing them for everything would make sense for AMD.
Though I agree that there's a reductionist aspect to this declutter thinking, I've always thought the answer to this question is "an ordered mind", which is very different from an empty mind of course.
not all chip functions are documented or even acknoledged by the OEM.
white paper doesnt document all the functions of the chip.
look around at various whitepapers and you will see voids in the documentation, or referals so the user agreement and lisencing to access info and use of proprietary tech.
If you are into low level programming and IDE design you will see mnemonic instructions laid out ina table with gaps in the address mapping and an explanation that they are reserved, or unavailable, same with expected bit inputs or outputs- reserved "unmaped" or "unused"
The engine wouldn't need to be especially efficient; it's purpose is to extend range, not to be the main charging apparatus.
If an item has a reason to be sitting there; and then you actually do engage with it the way you were planning to; and then when the reason goes away, the item goes away; then it's not clutter. It's just prep.

"Clutter" is the result of a broken mental model of physical "cache eviction": it's stuff that you have in the way of projects you're doing now, even though the stuff that's in the way is for a project you're planning for later (and might never even get to.) It's stuff whose presence slows down your life, rather than speeding it up, when measured over the long term.
Up to this point Intel has been competing with AMD by dramatically cutting their previously massive margins between what was possible on their tech and what they were milking consumers for with their enthusiast platforms.

Intel won't be able to compete with this with another one of their Arizona fabbed 14nm chips. The techs 8 years old now, but they still haven't demonstrated a readiness in anything newer yet. This might be the pants down moment Intel can't bounce back from a few months later.
This is true, but in practice there's a good chance they will be released if you pay. I don't have statistics on this on hand, but from cursory knowledge I'd be surprised if it was less than 70%-80% of the time a ransom was paid, the person would be freed. Statistics on that sort of thing are hard anyway because many kidnappings go unreported.

Ethics aside, killing the person after you receive your ransom simply worsens your punishment for little gain (provided the hostage can't identify you). Besides, should you want to take future hostages, it lowers the likelihood of being paid.
200 miles round trip should be fine in a 300+ mile range car. Also you don't need to stop for an hour if you just need a few extra miles of range to get home. You can add 50 miles in 10 minutes at a Tesla supercharger.
>>he would barely break even in 3 years

from the profit at the charger, agreed.
However, it's safe to presume this charger was installed in order to attract more wealthy customers -- ones who likely bring higher food & beverage profit margins than the average Corolla diver.
Exported VM from XS6.5 on opteron hosts, importing into XCP-ng on EPYC hosts. VM not only fails to boot/BSoDs, but crashes the entire host as well. Ouch.
Yes, allocation of resources is pretty much _the_ issue right know in terms of the future. There is certainly a lot of opportunity to capture wealth for yourself, to mistreat the environment and in other ways "win". But in the end it is those who can afford to leave things on the table that are going to really win. The companies that can deliver more value to their employees, the cities can provide more affordable housing and the countries that are doing better in terms of e.g. emissions. It is by distributing rather than capturing wealth that people and societies are going to be able to do more than the ordinary. This is when you will afford to innovate and do so from a position of strength.
Are you excited and jazzed about the customer work? Or do you just prefer to do that now over coding? If you’re excited and genuinely enjoying what you do then you should probably allow yourself to just enjoy your new taste(s) and learn and grow in this new area.

If you are simply spending time in this new area over coding then I do think it could be a sign of burn out. In which case, you need to recover.

I'm an enthusiastic Linux user (called myself evangelist the first years of using it) and was always on a mission to defend it against the dark evil empire that was Microsoft. Apple was only used by graphic design types back then.

Now that I've established how much I love Linux and the FOSS movement (I'll still defend it over proprietary works) , I'm also a realist. Realist because when you do a lot of security dev then reality on Linux looks different today. Sticking for sake of discussions with monolith kind of kernels (comparing oranges with oranges) I absolutely hate the security design choices of modern Linux. Linux could do a lot better in this regard and Torvalds doesn't do the industry a favor when he calls security experts a bunch of masturbating monkeys. I can see where he comes from but the attack surface on any type of Linux (whether embedded or not), I'd go as far to call it total trash when compared to its BSD cousins. A lot of this isn't just Linux's fault considering how big the system is today. To realistically secure a Linux system is almost impossible (within budget+time that is) when compared to BSD.

The only reason why I still put up with Linus is because of FOSS. But if it were purely for security (on a desktop system) I'd have to say Linux is really poor.

It hasn't always been that way. My theory (really just theory) is that while Microsoft got hammered for decades for having shit security (remember trustworthycomputing.com ??). And I think the message slowly but gradually sank in at Redmond. Microsoft (and I still get hick-ups when saying it) somehow got their act together. I believe all that pressure amounted to something in the end while the Linux community missed the train. Not to say that there aren't brilliant ideas coming out of that community but there is very little pressure to provide integrated security that actually protects the user in a coherent way. You get lots of little pockets of good and bad (as is the nature of FOSS) and integrating it isn't even done well by the major distributions.

Again not saying Linux can't be secure but to make it good depends a lot on who integrates and sets up the system. And for the end-user who only has a semi-technical background (never heard of threat-modeling or grsec ... for them it's a dumpster fire).

I'm not comparing Linux to Apple here because Apple security is brilliant and thought all the way through to the UI/UE level. Linux in that regard doesn't even stand a chance. @thegrugq has a pretty good guide for OpSec/ComSec which is still relevant to this very day that spells out the tough reality (which a Linux fan like myself doesn't always appreciate hearing): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8950875
If you want to embed it, it is ::192.168.0.1. But why would you want to do this? With IPv6, you get real public IP addresses for all your devices.

I was a little tongue in cheek with that comment, but there could be a filter effect where people who aren't prepared to do it properly run away screaming from TeX and its many shells to the loving embrace of Microsoft Word, where they then do a terrible job and give Word a bad reputation.

I've done plenty of work where the customer insists that the final deliverable be in Word format, because that's what they're comfortable with. You can do proper formatting in Word once you learn the tools, and it's not even all that hard, although it can be somewhat unforgiving of screwups. The one thing I wouldn't attempt is to convert a TeX document to Word. In theory that shouldn't be entirely possible, but in practice there are about a million ways it could blow up in your face.

That's only because you know wealth/high class people. I assure you there are plenty of people who will cram a family of five in a compact for a road trip, haul plywood on the roof of a sedan, throw a sofa in/on a station wagon, haul gravel with a compact pickup, etc, etc. They're just not people who are employed by tech companies shop at whole foods and browse HN. Shoehorning a vehicle into a use case for which it is a less than perfect fit is not how white collar professionals making tech money are expected to act.

Vehicle suitability for any given task is inversely proportional to the average net worth of the occupants. The only way you get a free pass is if the vehicle is environmentally friendly and plastered in the kind of bumper stickers you expect on the back of a university professor's EV conversion project car. Then you're just "eccentric" and not low class.
I was hoping to have some comments on this but after a week, not much unfortunately.

I wonder if this is also something the US will come up with in the coming decades. We seem to be around 20 years behind Japan in many respects.

So 200 miles round trip for the hike, plus 20 or so for food/buffer? 220 miles isn't hard to get on a single charge, wouldn't you just charge it when you got back home?
Things aren't always that simple. For example AMD may be cheaper per core, but if you're running AVX heavy code then intel has a throughput advantage. At least it did with Zen, Zen2 has some improvements in that area, so we'll have to measure again.

Moving to the next intel generation is usually simple, incremental change. Moving between vendors means a lot of re-evaluating if you're crunching numbers.

If your workload needs a lot of PCIe lanes for IO or you need cheap systems with ECC ram then the story changes quite a bit.
Uber can't have it all ways. At the moment Uber are exploiting the market to get paid employees, but without having to offer them the protections they'd normally have, and without all the tax and NI payments either.

US companies really need to understand the English concept of "taking the piss".

No-one expects companies to pay all their tax and obey the law all the time. What they do expect is that companies do not take the piss. Uber is taking the piss, and they're going to be regulated if they don't make changes.

> blame the government for not updating their rules

I'm doing that too.
Consider trying other American Process Cheese brands -- e.g. Boar's Head -- that offer the same American Cheese singles, but are of a slightly higher quality.

American cheese on burgers is fantastic, but there's definitely a gradient in the quality of the different American cheese products.

Watch out for the red block ... took me some time to realize it's a 'bad' block which subtracts from your score when touched.
Thats exactly what they would say. Reliability track record, existing software/project restraints and enterprise relationships matter more than the price tag. That's why Intel can still charge rediculous amounts for enterprise chips for some time.
I use the video game analogy for this. animals may be 8 bits, we're 32 bits. Still whatever bits games are running on, they use the same basic formulas (in the metaphor, these are our senses, emotions and abstractions). It's indeed evident that we share a lot with animals. Even if they may not think as much, and can't communicate like us. I also believe that most important times in our human lives, are quite animal... holding a baby, holding your SO hand, eating, pissing, sleeping well. Doesn't need to know about curved topologies.. and I'm sure most of us would be content with the list I just wrote. And to go back to the analogy, we spend time thinking about problems and whatever, but going back to 8 bits often leads to interesting use of our existences. Like helping someone simply can brighten your life much more than financial success.

Not by my own rules but I've been living in Manhattan out a storage unit since 2017, shower/meditate @ gym, write a novel during the day, day-job at night, then get ZZZs on SOHO streets.

It's affordable. I live in Manhattan. And I'm working to be professionally published by a NYC Publishing House within the next three years, hence reason for wanting to be on scene. I'm 32

I know there are more conventional / logical ways to go about a thing, but you know.

HTML5 canvas was where I wrote my first game, it has a relatively simple API, once you've copied the boilerplate from somewhere.
WRT your comments regarding framing/cutting techniques, the episode of “Every Frame a Painting” mentioned elsewhere in this discussion goes into this in depth and really demonstrates how it makes a big difference in the type of action that Jackie excels at. Highly recommended if you haven’t watched it before (along with the rest of the videos in the series).

2. sounds like a strawman; corporate oversight of employee emails is certainly possible and addressable

Photographers achieve success not due to successful prevention of users from downloading images they've made available on the internet. Skills, marketing, client-base, luck, are things that determine whether photographers are successful.
We have to eat.. but if we hadn't I'd be happy never have to harm another living form. It's how nature is built .. but still.
Market perception matters though, and I know many people -- IT admins included -- who think that Intel is just higher quality. Those people will be hard to capture quickly, and AMD will need to hold a lead for a while to change that perception

No customizing characters beyond rolling stats and picking skills/spells (and just picking them, not saying how good they are at them) and weapons.

Fighting was mostly attack/parry/dodge. Not much variety in combat actions, particularly with massive health values on everything.

Your stats hardly mattered unless they were above like 16 and got the skill or combat bonus.

Most of the rules for non-combat actions were just simple skill-tests.
You're rolling your own version control for a 100k LOC project? You could easily pick up git in a day or two. Why not just use git? It represents your project as a tree; you can work on different branches of your project simultaneously, save progress on branches, merge them, etc.
Most of what you mentioned there is drawing and using the pencil, which I concur works great.

I completely disagree about video editing and audio production. Sure it's doable for small family videos, but absolutely not for anything remotely pro.
Is it a personal health coach or simply another way to get people to give up their DNA to be used by drug companies and cops? Both are part of the agreement when you give them a sample and Glaxo just bought into this company.
It was the original battery and iOS was saying 90% capacity. I had been watching the capacity since it was added to iOS and originally intended to swap it out with Apple for the $30 (or just replace it myself, like I have for previous iPhones). I really think if that's the only concern, replacing the battery has always been a huge cost/benefit most people don't seem to think about.

The 6s has a 1715 mA·h battery versus the Xs' 2658 mA·h. This is why still including the 5w charger is silly. Charging with this was already slow on the 6s. It's really hard to quantify usage, especially when the chips are so different. I really noticed the battery life start dipping when I switched to Bluetooth headphones when using the 6s. I'm hoping on the Xs either that Bluetooth is more optimized, but even if it isn't the same draw will drain a smaller percentage of the battery.

The main thing I was hoping to capture in my reply was the little, less concrete things about the update. I usually skip a few generations and a lot of the game changers are small, personal things that don't always jump out in reviews. As an old example, I don't often use AirDrop, but when I finally updated all of my devices to support it, it's way easier than messing with Dropbox, using some app with a web server, connecting a cable, or using a usb or memory stick. Other times it's better radios that power on more quickly, are faster, or more reliable.

Ah. Ok. Got it. Thanks.

So, meta-uber would need to embed within itself a hacked copy of the actual uber app, or just very carefully mimic calls to Uber's backend somehow.

Or meta-uber would need to somehow have the permission to run and inject data into an authentically installed instance of the Uber app (not quite sure if or how, say, the Android platform's security model would allow this.)

Hmmm.
