In $DAY_JOB we've not upped prices, the massive tax cuts easily made up for the cost of sending the work elsewhere or incurring the expenses/realizing the benefits of doing the work over here. I realize not everyone has that luxury.
That sounds like a good thing.

charitably there is an angle to this that has some validity -- increases to the top tax rate should probably be paired with wealth recapture through inheritance taxation to ensure that you don't just build a gigantic firewall for existing millionaires who already made their money.

Is it Xin Jinping or China's "fault"?

Despite the tone of this article, it seems to me that the current situation is a reaction by the US to China's growing power rather than a failure on China's part.
Both clauses are false?

"Tariffs against China are actually a tax on the American citizens" is undeniably true.

"Tariffs are a tax on imports. They're typically charged as a percentage of the transaction price that a buyer pays a foreign seller. Say an American retailer buys 100 garden umbrellas from China for $5 apiece, or $500. The U.S. tariff rate for the umbrellas is 6.5 percent for umbrellas. The retailer would have to pay a $32.50 tariff on the shipment, raising the total price from $500 to $532.50."

The latter clause is a matter of second order effects that people can disagree with.

Raising taxes on those already making that much makes it more likely, not less likely, that you will be able to do so.

Right; the only unique thing about using the Apple Store app is that it lets you scan UPC codes for small-purchase items when you’re already in the store, allowing you to just pick something up and walk out with it. For large-purchase items, it’s the same whether you use the app or the website. (Although I think that when you show up to a store where you have an item waiting for you, and you have the app running, it does some kind of automatic prompting or notification to staff or something.)
So the fact that weed is illegal means there could be an anti-smoker bias? One based purely on the law and not any other reason? Probably. I still say legalizing pot smokers should be the next civil right.
Wait, where are nukes entering into this? The article was about tactical defenses for warplanes, I don't think anybody still has nukes in their air-to-air arsenals after the 70s. When you're talking about ICBMs with MIRVed warheads decoys can make a lot of sense because in space a 10 kg balloon looks a lot like a 500 kg warhead. But in the atmosphere they're very easy to tell apart and nobody talks about decoy missiles.

Shenandoah GC in production: experience report
We experimented with it five years ago trying to reduce the loading time of animations in a mobile game, but with the phones of the time we only managed to exchange waiting for the data with waiting for the devices to process the clips.

I guess nowadays this strategy would work much better, even considering that 4G is currently the norm.
The United States wasn't either.
I have the app. It works really well if you are an Apple nerd like me. But not everyone does. Judging by the number of people that wander around, this is clearly a solution that sounded good at Apple's Silicon Valley offices but breaks down doesn't work in the real world. This is not an area that needed innovation for innovation sake. Just have a sign and employee assigned so you can go to them and pay for stuff.
It's not perfect, but if I search for "GoodNotes" exactly by name it should give me GoodNotes.

The fact that the search results dedicate most of my screen to Notability (one of their main competitors) is some bullshit on Apple's part.

https://i.imgur.com/4T7sLXb.png

It would be one thing if I searched for "notebook" or "handwriting" or "notes," but I searched for a specific app by name and they're sending traffic to a competitor because GoodNotes "only" pays 30% of their revenue to Apple, and Apple wants even more on top of that or else a competitor gets their traffic.

Sometimes search is bad because search is a hard problem and it's difficult to know what a user is looking for.

Apple knows exactly what I was looking for. They're just being dicks about it.
If you make more than $500k, you're already sending 37% back to the Feds. If you're in a high-tax state you're probably sending significantly more. Increasing the top tax rate is just a difference in degree.
If you consider system oppression to be a form of validation for bigots, then it follows that removing that validation would result in reduced bigotry.
I went to buy a brand new laptop at the Apple Store, and despite knowing exactly what I wanted I had to wait for at least 20 minutes - when I walked in, I was told to wait until an associate was free (whereas in most stores I could just grab a product off the shelf and go check out), then I was ping-ponged around at least 2 other people (both of whom I had to wait for - 'just hang around this area and we'll send someone over' - they each spoke to me for less than a minute once they knew I just wanted to buy a thing.

What a hassle. The only reason I went brick and mortar at all was because of a promotion where you get a free headphone set, and I wanted to be sure to receive it.
Was the time-averaged power higher than 50kW? I think that's what we're talking about here. Peak power is a measurement of something else entirely, and I wouldn't be surprised if this military laser were also pulsed. But it's quite uncommon to find a laser with 50 kW of time-averaged power output, let alone on an airplane, which is what makes this impressive.
Apple Pay still isn't supported in most of the world, sadly.

So is not allowing American companies to compete on Chinese markets, not having your intellectual property rights upheld and competing against a country which is still categorized as a developing nation.

Before trump came in 4million jobs was lost to China alone, in exchange we got cheaper flatscreen televisions.

I'll take more expensive flatscreen televisions to make sure that China doesn't end up running over us all any day.

The chinese government (not the chinese people) is being controlled by a bunch of powerhungry men who will do everything to take over the world.

This is not just about economics it's about taking a stance for a more fair market.

Oh definitely, my general comment is mostly that there are a lot of wealthy people everywhere in the US who don't seem wealthy. In the media, there's a lot of focus on how the average American is in debt or can't save, but those all make is seem like it's exceptional to be able to save or earn 6 figures when it's not.
yeah that's still a 100% increase in the number of cases where federal funding is necessary given what the parent poster claimed. also now that we've expanded the pool to include emergencies, all we need to do is coach any argument into emergency classification (national debt, global warming, economic imbalances) for it to justify increased taxation.

I feel rather confident in saying that Gab does NOT have a very large population of actual nazis when using sane definitions for 'very large' and 'nazis'. Let's say... 10k and unironic 'Sieg Heil!'.

Or, really, anywhere close to that.

But if you use the media/leftist definition of 'nazi', which seems to be 'anyone to have ever made a politically incorrect joke or to have associated with the same', then OF COURSE you'll find a very large population of nazis. But you'll find that anywhere.

Another thing - some sunglasses work with Face ID when its attention detector is enabled, because Face ID can see eyes through them. I'm going to see about it when I get a new pair of sunglasses, which I need anyway because having only one pair of sunglasses in Miami is kind of like having only one pair of shoes. The sunglasses that work with Face ID might become the ones I wear the most often.
I love the store itself. The problem is, the ones closest to me are almost 2 hours away, and in HUGE shopping malls that are a pain to get in and out of.

They are packed, but if you make an appointment they usually get to you on time or even early.

Each mall also has a Microsoft store which is a sad abyss of emptiness.

Depends on your definition of spiritual, I suppose.

I didn't mean anything too semantically specific. I meant the religious/cultural practices using psychodelic which still exist and the new practices similar to them.

I'm a developer who switched to Macbooks in 2006 and I go into the Apple Store at least a couple times per year (the last time was weeks ago), and I have never noticed that was possible. Seems like a failure to market this option. I know it might hurt the aesthetic they're going for, but if they're overwhelmed even with legions of store employees, they might as well have signs trumpeting this to move people along more quickly.

> Who needs a shortcut to Ease of Access settings, or to the narrator?

Seriously? Those are probably the most important shortcuts on there. Having a way to immediately jump to accessibility settings is critical for all of the people who need those tools when they sit down at an unfamiliar computer, or even their own computer.

As for all of the others, yes, they should all be there. If you use it, dictation is something that's done frequently, as is use of the Game Bar (how else would you call it up during a full screen game?) and virtual desktops.

> Microsoft, please start removing shortcuts that no one needs, you surely must have all the telemetry data to support my point by now.

The fact that they haven't removed them should be enough evidence that they are, in fact, used.
One main reason the stores anger me is that they're actively disincentivezed to develop PWAs (progress web apps) or cross-platform technologies.

The App Store makes Apple billions.

By locking you down they get the ability to get a cut of your app.

If you could install a mobile app directly from the web, they're cut out of the loop.

They also can't use it as a system of control to block apps they dislike.

I agree that there are times where this might be valuable and that there are APIs that you might want to restrict but then have a fair policy about which apps you block and also have a way to get PWAs approved easily.

Also, it's VERY expensive to get your app there due to their use of Dunn and Bradstreet.

You either have to pay $1000 or you have to wait 1-3 months until your company is approved.

Also a matter of targeting - with fresh accounts browsing certain subsets where I didn't bother to install have clearly gotten work youtube for music loops to think of me as a woman completely accidentally.

I got essentially entirely romance manga banner ads and video ads were for birth control, menstrual products, and oddly schizophrenia medication (not sure if that is broad targetted or not). It makes them look amusingly inept at ad targeting and someone in marketing look kind of sexist - given that guy ads tried to sell me cars and beer constantly.
Certainly, it would remove a lot of the stigma of pot as contraband and pot smokers as criminals. Fine, upstanding citizens don't want to be associated with criminals, right?
I was excited to see the article and the response to this post is really heartening. I will echo other comments by saying that your HN pitch is well-written.

I do have a question: in conventional capture processes, the step that makes the process cost-prohibitive is regenerating the absorbent or adsorbent because it is so energy-intensive. You say above that CO2 (and water vapour) is absorbed by an aqueous electrolyte. How do you separate the CO2 from the electrolyte solution?

We actually are. With a strong economy that's exactly the time you do it.
As far as I know, it does not have similar functionality.

But I’m not sure it needs one. It has kqueue, and unlike epoll, kqueue is a general-purpose way to get events from kernel. It’s compatible not just with sockets, but also files and pipes, directory changes, processes, signals, timers, devices, and more. Not unlike IOCP on Windows.

On paper new uring is faster, but kqueue is not particularly slow either. And it’s available for couple decades now, i.e. it’s stable and tested really well. I’m happy Linux finally getting fast general purpose async IO, but I’ll only benefit from it after a year or so, after kernel updates are out, and after higher-level runtimes like golang and .net core are updated accordingly.
Averaging 50kw is impressive. However, unless you can keep targeting the same area for X unit of time the average power output over X period is not important.

That said, I would be shocked if they can dissipate enough heat to fire a continuous beam for an hour. It’s very likely designed to be pulsed over longer time periods.

> The actual definition of a monopoly is a company that has exclusive control over a supply of a commodity or service, which Google doesn't have.

By strict economic definition yes, but not in terms of legality. Sometimes it's enough for a company to have 35% of the market, for it to consider to be in a monopolistic position or to wield monopolistic power.

Also, Google has definitive monopolies when it comes to services such as video hosting, phone OS, email and even commodities such as a browser. A monopoly doesn't need to provide a service or a commodity at high price for it to be considered as abusing its position.

> This is the definition used by regulators so they can leverage government regulation against companies, pretty much because monopolies don't exist.

It is not. If that was the case, Microsoft couldn't be sued for anti-trust because it didn't own 100% of either desktop or web browser.

The Most Amazing Bowling Story Ever
Be better.
Relevant: trump is raising tariffs on $200B Chinese goods to 25% this Friday, and coming soon, 25% on additional $325B Chinese goods as well.

This is the disengagement of US economy with the Chinese economy as we speak. No more IP theft, no more US factories for China, no more knowledge transfer, no more opioids from China.

Perfect timing, what with US growing healthy at 3% and wage growth, and China suffering from debt overload and demographics decline
Just to clarify, the cost will be worth it if we get something in return.

Right now we have tariffs and all the negative things in the first sentence.

Here's the thing that got me - last year the laptop broke on my MacBook Pro. Very common and typical problem.

Whenever I tried to book an appointment there was literally no appointments in the entirety of London. It was actually impossible to book an appointment. I ended up just walking into a store on my Tuesday lunch break and they told me all their walk ins for the day have been taken up, and I should line up in the morning and wait for the store to open.

Indeed.

I feel like Electron encourages bad practice by allowing the developer to avoid the work of learning to write a native desktop app in favour of offloading the trade-offs of this decision onto their end-users in the form of poorly performing, bloated crap.

Those tax duties are arbitrary.

Chinese citizens have become dramatically richer through exports and the price of Chinese goods simply reflects that costs are lower in China (though the difference is narrowing).

Makes sense. People respect the authority of the law/government to varying degrees. Of course their opinion is swayed when the government officially sanctions something. People don't have strong, let alone informed opinions about tons of things so legality is a signaling mechanism for good/bad.
