A few months ago, I became very interested in China. Though a major problem I faced, which I'm sure you've faced too if you've been interested in breaking into the China market, is how difficult it is to find resources independently.

Here in North America, and in many other parts of the world, I can find Meetups or Facebook groups and immediately integrate into the community. For someone coming from this part of the world, there are multiple challenges:

1. Not knowing the online platforms or where the communities are

2. The language barriers of accessing them

3. Not being able to easily search or access tech hubs in China

4. Not having much information in general

5. WeChat groups not being publicly accessible, and limited in size (invite only)

I would love to break down some of these barriers, and for the community interested in working with China to make it easier for people to learn about, integrate and understand what's going on in China.

==============================

I've started a large document on Coda called Unlock China. So far the categories I've got are:

1. Tech Hubs (accelerators, coworking spaces, maker spaces, with maps, locations and contact info etc)

2. Apps (Chinese versions of all the apps we use)

3. Daily Essentials (Filtered view of the Apps list, to indicate the most important daily-use apps)

4. News/Information (English news outlets about China, podcasts etc)

5. Reports (A collection of large reports by Deloitte, EY, and other major sources about technology)

6. Noteworthy Articles (important articles about tech and news in China)

I would love peoples' thoughts and feedback on categories you'd like to see, other information you'd like to see and contributions. Please note this is very preliminary right now, I've spent a few days collecting some of this data, and would love some help. I don't want this to be a resource that one person hogs and profits from, but rather a resource that people build together collectively for the benefit of everyone.

Thanks for your help!
Right, that is your style, but i wouldn't call that "too many grammar restrictions" :-).

Unionization is also extremely important to protect the non-tech workers at tech companies who do not have the same leverage as the salaried engineers.
I was a TypeScript skeptic -- sum types >>> union types -- but I was wrong.

TypeScript is simultaneously (1) incredibly practical, (2) allows for type-level capabilities matching or exceeding Scala, (3) has excellent IDE support, (4) is explicit, and (5) related to #3 can compile sans type checking.

I don't love Node.js for server-side, but from language perspective, TypeScript really checks the boxes.
I'm also a FreeRTOS user who periodically peers over the fence at NuttX, but similar fears prevent me from making the jump.

In particular, I get really nervous about scenarios where multiple low level peripherals needs to cooperate to get something to happen— thinking about something like having a DMA drive a timer to piano-play oddball serial protocols like the WS2812 one. That's enough of a nightmare in bare metal where you have total control over all the registers; I have trouble imagining an OS abstraction layer which wouldn't make it considerably worse.
These groups tend to be invite only and don’t publicly post this code as it reveals usernames of people on blacklists, but if you search around discord channels or some subreddits you might find them.
I haven't read any studies in this. Vapor absorbed by strangers must be extremely low or this would be a bigger issue.
Spreadsheets are a DB. Do you mean over a DB server? Or a relational DB? Or a DB without a bundled Model view controller?
I hate this straight jump to warnings of socialism whenever somebody questions the current system. There is much more nuance. In Germany workers get a seat on the board of directors and from what I know these companies still make the owners rich and the country is quite different from Venezuela.
I would guess the cleaners would clean off the board only if the author had made it very clear, some time beforehand, that this is what he wanted and expected.
Anyone has a link to the full article?
Calls are really, really bad for shared knowledge building. Either you require each call to end with a note, discourage one-to-one calls and favor group calls, or accept that the speed of knowledge diffusion in the team will slow down to a crawl. I believe it's easy to see the downsides of all of these possibilities.

Mailing lists, Usenet, IRC, Slack, bulletin board, wiki, GitHub issues - doesn't matter which, use whatever works for you and is most convenient, but, whatever you do, please communicate in text. Bonus points for storing all that text in a searchable place.

Well, once the speech to text is sufficiently accurate, this may change (although there's always that chilling feeling of having so many of your voice samples sent to Google) - but until then, communicate in text as much as possible. Both deaf people, social phobiacs, and new hires will thank you for that.
I can sort of see why and it's for the same reason databases are left wide open.

You start a project. You set up a DB with minimal security because you're just starting the project, and you figure that down the road before you release to the public, you will secure that DB.

A few weeks/months pass and you are ready to release your app into the wild. But by that time you are focused on other things and that unsecured DB is forgotten because it has "just worked" since that initial setup. You release and sometime later something like this happens because that DB never got the attention to security it needed because it "just worked" and was forgotten.

Don't get me wrong this is still very bad. But I can see how an unsecured server/plaintext passwords happen. It's not by design b but rather a shortcut you took way back when that you have since completely forgotten about.
I have experienced this in a very weird but completely reproducible manner. My Logitech G27 steering wheel has a power plug to run the force feedback system. If you connect the peripheral to power but not to the computer, touching the metal pedals causes strong burning sensations.
Originally I posted a longer response, but it's not worth breaking down because the original content is complete, unfounded nonsense. It's the kind of thing you'd read on an anti vax facebook page.

No, the vast majority of those with psychiatric disorders do not recover without treatment

No, there is not a high percentage of patients that get worse because of treatment

Either a source needs to be posted or the comment should be deleted because it is completely false, not adding to the discussion, and incredibly dismissive of those experiencing psychiatric problems or seeking psychiatric treatment
Yes, you are popular now but in 10-20 years after you’ve been through the wringer a couple times the concept of a tech union might make more sense.

EDIT: changed "ringer" to "wringer".
I think the word you are looking for is "quadratic".
There's a difference between "can't" and "don't want to". I'm not going to tell anybody what they should or should not do for their transportation. If you prefer driving, for whatever reason, go for it! I'm not going to say you're wrong.

My main point is that a lot of people assume that biking is the worse choice for them without actually knowing.

I have noticed that most people I know who have tried bicycle commuting and gave it up didn't really give it a fair shake. They used substandard or the wrong type of bikes, didn't use the accessories and clothing that make it feasible (rain gear, panniers, trailers, etc), and so forth. They just grabbed their old bike out of their garage and hopped on. That can work, but it's not usually the best experience.
If division can be involved, why not:

= ((25 * 4) * 63) /4

= 100 * 63 /4

= 6300 / 4

= (6400 - 100) / 4

= 1600 - 25

= 1575

From the faq:

Security: All data collected from your IoT devices is stored on a secure server at the Department of Computer Science in Princeton University. IoT Inspector transmits data to our server over a secure channel, i.e., HTTPS.
I think the best example of this is Uber. Uber connects riders and drivers, and theoretically doesn't really do "labor". However, without the middleman, neither would likely be connected.

I'd say most companies are similar. Yes, the worker does a lot. Without the company, it's unlikely one guy manufacturing something could find as many customers, if any. Finally, not everything can be done on an individual scale: the iPhone can't be built by one man.

Also, what do you mean by dictatorships? You can leave any time you want to. The job market is amazing for a worker right now.

The workers get their compensation in the form of benefits, wages, etc. There are companies that are run as co-ops: see REI. Most employees love it their, according to a friend who worked their for a while. If you want to work there, that's fine. If you want to work at a company with stock options, that's fine. But don't try to use the club of government to change an existing for-profit, shareholder-controlled company into what you want it to be, just because you want it.

That's authoritarianism.
> what right have you to the fruits of my labor?

Edit: Nobody.

If you allow someone to have rights to another person's product or service (I'm thinking healthcare), then you're saying you have a right to the people who produce the product or service, which is slavery. The government can't guarantee your "right" if there's no people to produce it, unless the government forces it (slavery), or just throws random workers into the position (low quality).

That's not really true, there are significant architectural differences that made sense as a new protocol. (The biggest being that "replicated conversation database for realtime conversations" instead of a point-to-point message sending/routing thing) - Arathorn explained it well in a comment last month https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19419832

I share some of your concerns, but we should take care that we don't simply condemn any attempt at promoting mainstreem content as 'censorship' and any attempt to promote highly specific content as 'bubbles'.

If both are dystopian nightmares we're in deep trouble.
I have only watched a few, so I cannot give a great answer.

But I have a good queue of ones I want to watch, which I build from ones recommended in the TED book on public speaking written by the current head of TED.
Look at the PBS Space Time video previously linked in other comments. It will help.
The worst is that with the secrecy about compensation you don’t have enough information to negotiate effectively whereas the employer has full information.
> whose videos I've been watching all week, even though I know nothing about jazz or playing music, really strikes me as the magic of YouTube

100% agree about that being the magic of YouTube, and it's something I feel that most people just don't get. There is so much amazing and incredibly professionally produced content, as good or far better than what you get on TV, on YouTube that simply would never, ever have made it to TV or movies.

And not just quality content, but someone in a third world country with a relatively tiny budget, can capture a huge audience which can show the masses what "others"[1] are really like. I happen to believe YouTube could go a long way to healing some of the growing divisions we're experiencing in modern society. Well, that is if you could actually get individual people to develop a little curiosity, and get YouTube to put a little genuine effort into discoverability and curation of videos, and get politicians to not want to keep people dumb and divided. So it will probably remain yet another lost opportunity to make the world a better place, like so many other opportunities we've squandered.

Bundles are like thematic inboxes. So I can go into work mode, family mode, news mode and stay there for a while but look only at things that have not been taken care of yet. If you try and replicate that with a filter, inbox actively prevents it (label: something AND in:inbox). It won't show anything. Even apple mail allows that. Also the de-emphasis of read/unread status. You can archive without reading more than the subject, and it doesn't show in all the unread counts etc. When unread counts are so much in your face, it's hard to ignore them.
In my experience, Slack threads are absolutely horrible. I tend to miss that there's discussion on a thread for hours because it's almost "out of band" to the rest of the communication.
Why is it not OK to question science orthodoxy?

I don’t think as many “anti-vax fear mongerers” are as “anti-vax” as you think.

Many (most?) people that are labeled as “anti-vax” actually believe things like:

1. Giving the MMR to infants is potentially highly problematic until circa 18 months old

2. The default position is to wish not to inject organomercury and other potential toxins (of which knowledge is necessarily limited) into your blood

3. The annual flu vaccine’s efficacy is dubious in the very best case, and actually leads to weakened immune system in the most likely case

4. It’s not OK to inject material from aborted human fetuses (don’t argue with me - if you don’t believe me, just ask the scientist who created the Rubella vaccine... or read the paper, or watch the interview with him where he says this himself)

So, it’s not that “anti-vax” people disbelieve in the idea of vaccines, as much as it is that they don’t blindly trust unproven science to the point of willingly injecting fetal material and toxic chemicals into themselves and their children.

Certain vaccines, no doubt, have a place in society, but:

1. Nobody should be forced to inject anything into themselves (esp difficult to imagine a presumably liberal professor, who presumably supports a woman’s “right to choose” because it’s “her body”, having a different stance on this)

2. Let’s not hype up all vaccines, just because some of them work well - that’s not how science works
I see Amazon now like Aliexpress with a worse UI. Side note - I got an Amazon.ca Visa 4 years ago. Then two years later I got a letter saying in a month or so they (Chase and Amazon) were ending the card service. So I was a student stuck with paying off the card without access to the credit I had factored into my budget while I was in school. I wasn't impressed. Haven't shopped on Amazon since.
If I understand correctly, yes - conspiracy to commit theft.
Yes, but I also think it isn't a bad idea to separate your applications. Just because each application is a monolith doesn't mean that all of your code has to be in one repository.

Can your admin system be a separate system? Can they be three separate systems because three separate groups will use them? Even if you don't immediately split them into separate repositories, it may make sense to segment them as if they were, because if successful, you will start running into problems at around 40 programmers.
Makes sense. I tried using cycling shoes, but I found them really inconvenient and annoying, so I just use regular pedals & shoes. Still clipless, though.

She's referring to the distribution and central planning aspects of socialism, which are secondary consequences of the philosophy. The discussion here is more relevant to the core tenet: worker ownership of the means of production.
Exactly. Why unionize in the industry which highly competes for talent?
I think taking people names as an example is extreme because when Japanese people give a name to a baby, they choose both a phonological sign and a kanji-based transcription: phonologically, they tend to pick quite a common name (like christian names in the west, contrasting it with the native-american names that are a lot more specific to the person), but try to be clever and original when it comes to writing it with kanjis.

And I'm not even sure Amazon has an additional input field just for the sake of sorting names. Isn't this a common practice in the country ? (if I have to call a customer, how am I supposed to greet her if I can't pronounce her name ?)
In a previous life, we distinguished between ground and earth, where "ground" was a sloppy term to describe a circuit's zero reference, and "earth" was a precise term that described the zero-current safety path to the dirt.

The team was highly international, with a strong European influence, so that could also have been part of it.
It's worth noting that there has been a Sheets connector for BigQuery since January, although only for G Suite customers: https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/g-suite/connecting-bi...

This announcement seems like an expansion on what's above (e.g. pivot tables). I've tested what's above for my org and there's a lot of promise. (only criticism is creating formulas in the query don't work automatically since they are returned as Text cells; workaround is to cast as Automatic)

That's surprisingly evil. Someone selling niche maps with a market in the hundreds or low thousands was ripped off by counterfeiters on Amazon.
This is interesting to compare to the 3270 terminals in mainframes. On those the terminal inherently understands labels and fields, and typing doesn't necessarily go to the host until you submit. It's closer to a web browser than a Unix style terminal.
There are a decent number of companies that use NLP voice recognition when you call their support lines. So when you call, instead of pressing a number on your key pad to move through the directory you can speak it.

In that same vein, I've seen companies that have "chat support" use NLP bots to get a feel for the type of question a person is looking for before handing off to a human support person.

I've also seen AI personal assistants that handle meeting schedules etc like https://x.ai/
I think that increasing efforts to unionize or blackball projects will just increase off-shoring. This isn't like a coal mine where physicality is important and can be leveraged. It is easy to open an office in random company and also pay people less. I'm not making a judgment that it isn't important to stand up to companies being evil but I just don't see unions being successful. Most big companies could cut 50% staff on the engineering side and simply make more money. A lot of this is hoarding of resources and using it to create new products to enable more consolidation.
That’s the thing, hard to have experience with multiples. People generally stick to learning one or two. I know RTX and FreeRTOS differences, but I know without a doubt I’ll try NuttX.

I starting looking at RTOSes when you were lucky to have 3 or 4 options anywhere - and it wasn’t that long ago!

Now... with Amazon owning FreeRTOS... Intel and Nordic and Others going heavy in zephyr for multicore... professional but niche options like RTX, Segger’s OS, and a hundred others... and if you chip has a MPU/MMU someone is trying to get Linux on it (whether it makes sense or not!)...

I think the market is getting pretty crowded. Personally the viable options right now unless you need something large like VxWorks for Java runtime, I think it’s a choice between Amazon FreeRTOS and Zephyr.
Slack can be a terrible tool if you let it, but it can be wonderful, too, if you tune your notifications, and use DnD when you need it. Also, schedule DnD for non-work hours so you are never bothered outside of work hours, unless there is a true emergency (and if you work at a place with a lot of emergencies, then you have a shitty workplace).

It's a tool. Use the tool, don't let the tool use you.
Isn't it a tax event every time you spend crypto?

I'm guessing that's a reason why something like this won't arrive in the U.S. anytime soon...at least one blessed by U.S. regulators.
I love Interactive Brokers, but I'm trying to figure out why people use IB's debit card, drawing from margin. I know they have the best margin rates in the industry, but it's still something, and the margin interest isn't deductible if it's not used to buy securities.

Is there a particular tax advantage that I'm not considering? I'd love to know as this sort of stuff is like crack to me.
There was a time when nobility was complaining about peasants who wanted to have a say in how the country is run.
Why beat around the bush, they are literally Autocracies. Dozens of people in this thread will try to convince you of why you should be grateful to work at one though. Capitalist propaganda has been astonishingly effective since the 1930s.
I agree, and that's one of the reasons I posted how long I've been in the industry. On the one hand, right now everything is flowers and daisies but who knows what it will look like for me in 10-20-30 years, it might be a completely different landscape and unions might be required.
Astrologers are not pleased with Amazon Prime’s “shopping horoscopes.”
The capitalist answer is they don't have any right to your labor.

They purchase your labor with the wages that they pay you. You are free to not accept any opportunity offered, and either party can terminate it at any time for any (legal) reason if they feel the deal is no longer to their satisfaction.

Almost everyone believes that they are underpaid. There is a very simple way to prove it by checking your worth in the marketplace.

You are also free to ply your trade on your own if you so wish.
I am also worried about who would end up leading these unions. If traditional blue collar jobs, where members are most certainly not Left-leaning already end up with literal communists in the leadership, I cannot imagine how bad it would get when the membership is largely Left-leaning.
I don't see any proof that he's a math genius.

The attitude of the public seems to be that math is something you're supposed to just "get" automatically by having a gift in your brain, as if it's not a knowledge-based discipline that takes years of study. I think this comes from mental math being confused for actual math---and mental math ability is probably genetic.
Whoever made this site needs to spend just those few minutes more to ensure that images, one of the most basic HTML elements, actually work with a script blocker (wisely) turned on.
Unionization is the incorporation and concentration of human capital to gain leverage in negotiations. If that isn't smart capitalism, I don't know what is.
