Quite an interesting story.

Unfortunately every paragraph is in its own div tag which screws up scrolling and means you can't just use the space bar to page through the text. Why would they go to all that effort just to make the article hard to read?
At least some companies (Meral - cycles Cyfac) are producing bicycles in women's sizes which are not just their male counterparts painted in pink and turqoise.
Are you kidding me? The page redirected after ten seconds to some sort of scam site that hijacks the back button. No, there is no malware on my iPhone. This is the genuine behavior of the official Forbes site. This is pathetic. Any site that behaves like this should be banned everywhere, including HN. I don’t care if it’s Forbes.

It's reasonable to assume that a fridge or freezer is powered on 24/7/365.

This is a great resource, but if you just want to optimize a tight loop remember NEON intrinsics.
That's an utterly disingenuous argument.

The EU made an attempt at formally codifying a very basic boundary that most everybody intuitively understands - everybody except for the creepy advertising-surveillance industry which remains willfully ignorant. The answer is simple: don't surveil your users!

Kind of sad to see 451 being used simply to throw a hissy fit, continuing to pretend that the surveillance is intrinsic - rather than deliberately set up to abuse visitors. But alas I guess this balkanization is just the next step on the path where users move away from http altogether.
I did take a computer architecture class but all there was addressing modes and few basic instruction classes. Things got difficult when I started studying OS. Then I came to know that sopport for things like page table, higher privilege level instructions etc are all in Architecture itself (Though I still have to read about them from manual). I don't know what else am I missing.
I do think there is an interesting discussion to be had along these lines (since I am having that discussion with a friend off of HN at the moment) but the way I went about things was not conducive to that.

Sorry about that.
You're right about open source licenses. As a rule, they're US-centric, which is not what I'd prefer, were I all-knowing and every-qualified. But I'm just a US lawyer.

We had some very valuable, indirect feedback on Blue Oak from lawyers qualified elsewhere. But not enough. I'd be very interested in inviting specialists from other systems to comment, publicly and privately. Moral rights in their various forms. Differing rules on warranty and damages exclusion enforcement. Things I don't know to ask about.

As for licenses of European origin, someone already mentioned EUPL. I'd add https://opensource.org/licenses/CECILL-2.1. I'm likely forgetting at least one.

To end on a happy note, I'd point out that plainer language can actually help jurisdictional portability. Compare the copyright and patent sections of Blue Oak and Apache 2.0, for example. Apache 2.0 takes the typical US legal approach of listing out the exclusive rights of copyright holders, and the actions constituting infringement of a patent, under US copyright and patent statutes. Apache 2.0 does not specify US governing law, but speaks in terms of US law. Blue Oak doesn't list out statutory verbs. It identifies the sets, rather than their specific elements.
Here's what HRC actually said:

>"You know, to just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump's supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. Right? They're racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic – Islamophobic – you name it. And unfortunately, there are people like that. And he has lifted them up. He has given voice to their websites that used to only have 11,000 people – now have 11 million. He tweets and retweets their offensive hateful mean-spirited rhetoric. Now, some of those folks – they are irredeemable, but thankfully, they are not America.

But the "other" basket – the other basket – and I know because I look at this crowd I see friends from all over America here: I see friends from Florida and Georgia and South Carolina and Texas and — as well as, you know, New York and California — but that "other" basket of people are people who feel the government has let them down, the economy has let them down, nobody cares about them, nobody worries about what happens to their lives and their futures; and they're just desperate for change."

So, what you have is people self-identifying into the abhorrent, contemptible "basket" she explicitly describes (versus the one that is "honorable" and even sympathetic), then crying foul. It really is a remarkable thing.

Now, she was overly broad with her statement "half" and --though she likely used that word to convey "two groups" vs literally 50% -- she admitted as much herself. But, the core of what she was saying is objectively true and observable: a substantial share of Trump's support was made up, in significant portions, of each of these groups.

So, to the question of "contempt", is it acceptable to have contempt for contemptible views? Because what she described in that first basket was certainly contemptible.

And that sums up the modern Right: troll, own the libs, and generally act in ways that are purposely and overtly provocative and comtemptible. Then, cry foul and victimization when you are called on it.

From Trump, to his sons, to the basket of deplorables that just spoke at CPAC, these people are first and foremost, purposeful trolls who seek contempt as a motivating force. Then, people like Brooks from AEI come along with facile, disingenuous articles and lament the contempt coming from "both sides".

Possibly, yes. The article I responded to focused on the economy. Do you see signs of Chinese territorial ambition, spratleys aside?
Compromise feels almost inevitable. Perhaps the idea that we can keep data protected and accessible at the same time using complex software is folly? Systems get more and more complex, security measures layer on top, patching over holes as they are found. But we are never in front of the cat and mouse game by necessity, only ever behind. So it must be that compromise is inevitable.

I wouldn't put personal data I am not willing to lose online or on an intranet at all anymore. No amount of money and engineering seems to be able to keep up, and companies prove over and over that they are negligent, naive, or simply a few steps too far behind.
I believe, in my culture, this person would annoy me quite a lot.
Buying a Utah Teapot
So why do we feel that it is “Unamerican” to not let people die on the street because they can’t afford health insurance? I thought we were suppose to be a “great moral Christian nation”?

There is nothing about the American health care system that has anything to do with the free market.

Before the ACA, if you had any type of pre-existing condition, you could not buy health insurance at any price.
Yes. Conversations with friends and broadcasting to millions of people need different approaches. But an internet forum like HN is such an intimate-seeming environment that this is hard to see unless you observe it closely for a long time, and even then one still gets it wrong at times.
And everything is fine.... maybe GDP is not important anyway.
It's actually the opposite. Every comment not critical of China gets downvoted quickly.
Proof: comments on this article and other articles critical of China, remotely or overtly.
Except even on a high-deductible plan, the provider bills the insurer, they play their games with the price, and eventually you get a bill.

There is no up-front price. There is no market pressure. You still don't know what you will need to pay until weeks or months later.
The amount of savings obviously depends on electricity and gas prices where you live, but yes, the electricity will be less expensive for the same mileage.

In this case, the boss is telling OP to talk like a leader rather than engineer to him, not necessarily to the engineers below. To the engineers below, you still have to talk like an engineer to some extent, some of the time. That's the virtue/advantage of a manager that is from the engineering background.
People often say to me “it must be nice not to have a boss.” I explain to them that I have no idea what that’s like, since I have 12 or 13 bosses.

My job is to empower my reports to do their best work, using empathy and engineering the team as a well-oiled system. Sure, they report to me, but my job is to keep them productive.
Can't. The U.S. has well documented problems with the working poor being unable to afford insurance or qualify for medicare; even if they qualify, medicare is not universally accepted (because it doesn't pay market rates) and there's no legal requirement for medical professionals to do so.
> Edit: Listen, USA, it's not such a big deal, and y'all really need to stop siphoning off everyone's data like it's no big deal, laws or not. I wrote some stuff for the GDPR, just had to remove some emails from our database, and honestly, we shouldn't have been collecting them in the first place and neither should you. This surveillance capitalism we're all building is not a good thing and you should not be complicit in it.

This is incredibly patronizing. If I build a website in Canada, host it in Canada and primarily target it toward Canadians, don't complain when I have zero interest in learning about EU laws. I don't want to put a cookie popup on my website. I don't want to research GDPR. I don't want to worry about EU copyright law.

I just want to build a website for my users.
Now extend that to voting systems too... not just folly, but criminal insanity.

You can drag things around and change values -- if you're a visual learner, it really helps grasp things like this.
The technology is very much there and they are spot on that the gig economy was always meant to be temporary. Self driving cars are being used already and doing significantly better than human drivers.
This is super important. Having someone come to the conclusion you care to on their own will solidify it in their own heads as their idea, making it an obvious choice. I’ve even gone so far as to argue against it with a few surface arguments, to cement it in their minds.

Is that manipulative? Sometimes. But if it’s for the benefit of the team, you do what has to be done.
I think the Six Thinking Hats technique by Edward De Bono is a good framework for shifting into different perspectives of thinking and might be relevant to this topic.
When I first joined my team, my manager told me to take a screenshot of my queue, because that was the only time it would ever be empty...
It does not.

It's a plain-old TCP connection in GMSCore, but has special permissions to ignore various power save modes.

I personally wish Google would work with mobile networks to replace it with something lower level (eg. Based on the same thing used to initiate phone calls), because a hanging TCP connection open for many hours gets unreliable as NAT drops it and as the phone migrates from one mobile network to another (eg. Across country boundaries)
> for instance the MIT license does which clearly defined what 'as is' entails

The Uniform Commercial Code defines what "as is" entails. I link the California Code section in the blog post:

https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySectio...

> compared to the MIT license where it uses 'person' which has a clear legal idea behind it

MIT uses "persons" for licensees, not licensors. "Person" is also ambiguous as used. I hope it includes legal entities!

> To me I have a lot more confidence in the MIT license or the BSD license because the legal verbiage is precise.

In my culture, this is considered a dick move.
"It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it."

It's not exactly complicated. Either get rid of their tracking cookies (why does a news website need tracking cookies to view an article?), or get consent before they use them.

People don't want to stop tracking their users and so they feign like it's some insanely complex law. It's not complex at all, it's just one that made the thing you used to do illegal, and you need to stop doing it, or get consent before you do it.

If maintaining a persistent session is somehow in the user's interest (say, maintaining an account at a store or online forum or something) then that's a legitimate-business-use exception. If it's for tracking/advertising/etc, then ask for consent, or presumptively don't do it. It's really not complex at all, unless you're being aggressively ignorant about it.
> Europeans might be particularly sensitive to this mispricing, because I think they enjoy SANE advertised pricing all around - such as including tax in the price

How does that work for online advertising and online shopping sites? Most of Europe uses destination based VAT for remote sales, which could make it very difficult or annoying to include VAT in the advertised price if the ads or shopping site reach more than one country.
Hang on, 'charlatan' is being 'redefined' merely by someone's opinion but the elaborated-upon use of 'telling', a word with a straightforward literal meaning, is fecund with secret malicious bias? It's hard hard to see how both of these can be true.
Even as an engineer I often focus on the ‘why?’, since answering that first prevents me from having to do anything else.
> It is ironic that Li Keqiang is premiere (#2) but Xi Jinping has decided not to use his index (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Li_Keqiang_index) that gets around fudging with more accurate statistics.

Li Keqiang Index has three components, electricity consumption, railway cargo volume and bank loans. They all had pretty good growth, e.g.

People need to be realistic, China's current GDP per capita is lower than world's average, it is an extremely poor country totally under developed. With the largest domestic market and hard working population, how hard will it be to grow at 6-7% to catch up with some in the middle of nowhere countries with $20k USD GDP per capita?
That was funny. I get your /s
Agreed. A few places I’ve worked have tended to call them cycles, at least partly for that reason.

Clinical trials are mostly free for the patients who are chosen for them. But I think what you’re saying is government healthcare won’t pay for experimental treatment (currently in a trial stage). However, that is true even for private insurance here in the US. My regular insurance doesn’t cover experimental treatments. I have a separate add on that pays for some experimental treatments.
> Thompson went a step further by inventing the ++ and -- operators, which increment or decrement; their prefix or postfix position determines whether the alteration occurs before or after noting the value of the operand.

This man has given programming so much.
Yes, definitely, even with high-electricity-cost utilities.

Even the big, heavy older Teslas get the equivalent of at least 60 mpg (say, 300 watt hours per mile at 15 cents per kWh vs $3 for a gallon of gas).
When a process is annoying and you do nothing, people eventually do give up and leave. When it reaches that point, they’re not coming back even if you finally wake up and fix what bugged them.

Apple software quality is in serious danger precisely because of this type of community and infrastructure rot. They are not encouraging developers to help them, and a not-surprising number of serious issues have shown up in released products in recent years.

I am one of those people who gave up on BugReporter. Lots has been written on how tedious it can be but even its “rewritten” version a few years ago is frustrating (basically you could be reporting a damned spelling error and they would still want a “sysdiagnose”). Bugs stay open for years and still can somehow be Duplicate. Meanwhile, very obvious broken features make it into new versions.

All browsers should aggressively cache everything they get and bypass all "anti-cache" inanities. There are addons that modify response headers but this is all just filthycasulness, everything is hostile to the user--just as it should be. If people do not get exsanguinated violently enough they feel really antsy. All data is to be immediately uploaded to Tor+IPFS. The browser is meant to "play coy" and act as though it did respect the headers in online mode, but shift to offline and it loads the entire history fully. This would work well with Tor Browser. Same thing should apply for all videos of course. To use such tools would break the anonymity set of people, which is why after each TBB close the entire cache2 folder should be exported to a file that can then be imported offline-only. A simple way to do this would be to simply copy the entire tor-browser directory and then reopen it in work-offline. The problem is the anti-cache websites are then lost, so just like JavaScript, refuse to use websites that use anti-cache mechanisms. The user is not supposed to feel like everything can get annihilated at any time: this level of hostility towards her will not go unpunished.
Generally whoever takes anything down harms the Noosphere and should be viewed as an enemy of Posthumanism. Steaks on the table by choice and consent--treat them cruelly and without mercy.

The Decameron has a contemporaneous account of the plague in Florence that has always stuck with me in its first section, "The Plague of Florence" (you can see here, http://faculty.sgc.edu/rkelley/The%20Decameron.pdf ).

The whole section is worth reading but a fragment following descriptions of people that exhibited extreme temperance out of fear, or extreme partying out of nihilism is, "Of the adherents of these divers opinions not all died, neither did all escape; but rather there were, of each sort and in every place, many that sickened, and by those who retained their health were treated after the example which they themselves, while whole, had set, being everywhere left to languish in almost total neglect. Tedious were it to recount, how citizen avoided citizen, how among neighbours was scarce found any that shewed fellow-feeling for another, how kinsfolk held aloof, and never met, or but rarely; enough that this sore affliction entered so deep into the minds of men and women, that in the horror thereof brother was forsaken by brother, nephew by uncle, brother by sister, and oftentimes husband by wife; nay, what is more, and scarcely to be believed, fathers and mothers were found to abandon their own children, untended, unvisited, to their fate, as if they had been strangers. Wherefore the sick of both sexes, whose number could not be estimated, were left without resource but in the charity of friends (and few such there were), or the interest of servants, who were hardly to be had at high rates and on unseemly terms, and being, moreover, one and all men and women of gross understanding, and for the most part unused to such offices, concerned themselves no farther than to supply the immediate and expressed wants of the sick, and to watch them die; in which service they themselves not seldom perished with their gains."

This passage always struck me as a particularly living and breathing account of what it might have been like to live through that time in human history.

Downvoting is different from flagging. Articles can't be downvoted only flagged.

If you look at the comments in the thread that have been flag killed, they are mostly low quality comments on both sides of the
issue.

And looking at downvoted comments, there doesn't seem to be much correlation at all between upvotes and whether the comment is critical of China.
That index has similar problems to the one mentioned in the article, though. Depending on how you weight them you overweight heavy industry and undercount services, which don't really use the railway cargo network and don't consume a terribly crazy amount of electricity (and use appliances that have seen marked increases in energy efficiency).
This is easier to use than Termux or any of the others. Looks nice.
