> Maybe, but they give a pretty good idea of what the founders thought about the constitutional scope of the federal government's power over the borders.

Well, it shows what the Federalist Party thought; the Democratic-Republican Party
didn't support the acts and was systematically targeted under the pretext of the acts. (And actually went to state legislatures in D-R leaning states to pass bills protesting the unconstitutionality of the federal laws and declaring them void.) “The Founders” were split between the parties (both Madison and Jefferson were Democratic-Republicans), and the Federalists were the more authoritarian faction.

The idea of “The Founders” as a unified group with a singular view on issued like this is ahistorical.
CA is a terrible place to do business (because of all the overhead associated with complying with CA's labor and environmental laws) unless that business is tech or selling metaphorical pickaxes to the metaphorical miners.

Ah, that explains why California leads the nation in agriculture, manufacturing, entertainment, logistics, and service industries (except finance). Because it's such a terrible place to do business that it can't possibly be the 5th largest economy in the world (and in the top 10 largest economies in the world for the last 3 decades straight).

Within several blocks of my office are hundreds of successful small businesses, none of which are tech companies. They're all doing fine. On my way to and from work, I pass hundreds more similar companies ranging from small mom-and-pops to multi-billion dollar multinationals, all so busy that they're hiring employees like crazy.

But sure, go ahead and tell people that CA is a terrible place to do business. Reality says otherwise.
“It's funny that 15 years back I was so anti MS and pro Google and now I think it's the other way!”

Dismissing your opponents as "bad faith" and "completely unaware of the absurdity" and "frivolous" is a good indication that your own beliefs may be so. You are completely blocking out any consideration of your opponents. This suggests that you fear becoming convinced that they are right. You fear being forced to confront the fact that your own beliefs have not come about by a rational decision-making process.

You are not required to listen to anything anyone says, but if your goal is to get through to a flat earther/creationist/etc, it helps to understand their mental framework, or you'll just end up wasting time talking past each other.

An interesting exercise I did way back in the day for fun was to try to debate some of those topics using only arguments within _their_ mental framework (e.g. if X pro-flat-earth argument is true, then why does the Bible contradictorily says Y). If anything, I ended up getting something out of it, as doing my own research to try to formulate these arguments taught me about topics I wasn't nearly as familiar w/ (e.g. history of religious documents)
HN "post" - Because that's the HN guideline.

> "Otherwise please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize." - https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

Register "post" - The Register is not a Chinese publication. The nation/legal system involved can't be assumed from the source, and is a vital part of the story since it's about a legal matter.

> "the Shenzhen Municipal People's Procuratorate – the local version of the Crown Prosecution Service – successfully prosecuted the developer in early April, before the Shenzhen District Court."

Had The Register _not_ included "Chinese" it could have been accused of "click baiting" since the Register's predominantly non Chinese[1] readership might have thought this was about laws that applied to them and clicked through.

Had the source been a Chinese publication writing about a American developer jailed, I'd imagine they would use "American dev jailed..." for exactly the same reasons.

>You need to listen to them in order to be able to refute them. So if you want to change their minds you need to listen to understand what their belief is founded on so you know what you need to convince them of.

I agree, but I don't think you will get this just by listening to them. My own cynical interpretation is that people are often driven by more selfish desires which are the reasons they are attracted to certain positions, which they then find more palatable justifications for.

The person arguing for free college and paying off existing college debt has many arguments, but the one that actually matters is that they are paying $1,000 a month on a student loan and highly prefer any solution that leaves them with that money back. Even a solution that increases taxes, as long as the taxes aren't more than $1,000, is preferable to their current state.

The person arguing for a reduces/removed minimum wage, while having a lot of argument as to the negative impacts of minimum wage, personally thinks that prices will go up if minimum wage goes up and is against it because of the loss of purchasing power. (Consider that this outcome actually happening or not is irrelevant, only the belief it will happen matters when judging why a person takes the stance they want.)

When I've argued for lowering the drinking age to 18, people will often assume I'm someone under 21 who wants the ability to legally drink. When I've argued for lowering the voting age below 18, people often assume I have political leanings that will be bolstered by under 18 voters. Both cases are false, but personally I cannot fault the people from assuming such based on how often it appears those assumptions are true.

He has one good point about user testing. The way to test a user interface is well understood, but not done enough. You have a setup to take video of the screen and the user at the same time. You get some people roughly comparable to the desired user base to try it. Alone, with no help. You give them a set task to accomplish.

Then you have someone review and annotate the videos. Where did people get stuck? Where did they back up? Where did they give up? Put together a highlights reel and have the developers and managers watch it. It's usually obvious by that point what's wrong.
China is setting an example here that intellectual property laws are to be taken seriously. It's not clear whether this particular case was intentional or not, but in general greater IP protection in China is definitely a good thing.
I agree with this. I think their methodology of scouring requirements in job ads might have something to do with it.

> biggest negative I would say is getting rid of the SDET role and moving them into Telemetry.

I don't quite understand this move. Would you mind to elaborate?

Are you saying that previously SDET role exist at MSFT and today, it does not exist anymore? And that Developers have to rely on Telemetry (logging, metrics, notifications, error reporting, etc etc) ?

Perhaps I don't understand "Telemetry" in this statement.

Then don´t buy the stock. Period.

I don´t like this idea of trying to protect every fool with 2 bucks. If you´re not qualified to make your own opinion about a stock then you shouldn´t be allowed to invest in the first place. Or at least, you loose your right to complain if you´ve not done your DD properly.

Some stocks are more risky than others; this is one of them. Hence why the returns might be amazing 10 years from now or be completely garbage. Pick a side and make a bet, or don´t. Either way, talking about protecting people from "risk" is a dead end.

Tesla has hammered on this "hands not detected on wheel for 6 seconds" point, but in my experience that doesn't mean anything.

Tesla's "hand on wheel" detection is terrible. It basically only works if you have one hand on the wheel at the 2 or 10 o'clock position; you have to be slightly tugging on the wheel. But not TOO much or it disengages.

I would usually drive, on long straight sections of the Interstate, with my hand at the 5 o'clock position, resting on my thigh and grasping the wheel. Very little steering input is necessary. But the Tesla always detects this as "hands not on wheel". Ditto if I have both my hands on the wheel, because the pulling force evens out between the left and right side of the wheel.

I basically never drive without my hands on the wheel, but Tesla kind of always detects "hands not on wheel". Sometimes I notice it before it sounds the audio alert, but sometimes I don't.
I don't believe that this is a function of age. There's quite a bit of behavioral economics research to support this that was done on undergraduates, for example.

> Furthermore this goes much further than Islamic ideology. Uyghurs have been rebelling against the Chinese government off and on for at least a century. What they are doing is attempting wipe out Uyghur identity to tighten their grip on Xinjiang.

Exactly. The PRC has been doing similar things to Tibetans, who aren't Muslims, e.g. this story from 2013:

These policies have little to do with Islamic terrorism per se, but more with suppressing independence-minded minority ethnicities.

Felt like gambling not relaxing.

More importantly, the majority of the Salvadoran, Guatemalan, and Honduran immigrants present in the U.S. are here illegally, which makes them ineligible to participate.

I grew up in Cincinnati. I finished college at the start of the Great Recession. As career opportunities in Tech were (at the time) nonexistent there, I couldn’t find a future for me in Cincy. I moved away in 2009 to Chicago; and then to San Francisco 5 years later. I feel a little bit guilty for leaving my childhood friends and family behind to move on with my aspirations.

It’s been hard to listen to my parents complain about how terrible the region has become; yet I am grateful for their continued encouragement to pursue my own goals - even if elsewhere.

It’s easy to say “why don’t they move?”

It’s a question I bring up all the time to myself. As it turns out, it is really hard to relocate an entire family once roots are put down - my aging grandparents, my sisters and their families, my fathers’ business, and my mothers‘ career in commercial banking all anchor them to Cincinnati.
Downforce is being solved in the 2021 regulations. Ross Braun is on it, the car in front is to push the wake above the car behind rather than in its path.

Tyre strategy could be about running the same set of tyres all weekend. Normal cars don't change the tyres every hour. I know that the pit stop upsets the order a bit, however, if there were two sets of tyres for the weekend and you had to use both sets in the race then that could work out fine.

There is an environmental cost to lugging those tyres all around the globe, it is a bit out of touch with the times plus it doesn't say much about the product if it only lasts less than two hours. In Formula E they get this right and I am sure Michelin are getting the right message to their customers about what a great tyre they make.

The pit stop could even be a mandatory toilet break if the real point of it is to just upset the racing order. Or the drivers forced to pull into the pits to drink 500ml of water. Nobody wants to be dehydrated, do they? (Or to use the olden days phrase, 'thirsty').
If you don't care about the laws in South Africa that's fine but they are too big to risk that.

I'm confused by this argument. Has the value provided by health insurance gotten better to make up for the additional cost? If you're paying those 10% into health insurance and the benefit hasn't increased with that increase in cost, I'd say you're moving backwards.

SpaceX hasn't just caused the spaceflight industry to "think about re-usability". They are utterly crushing all competition in terms of price and launch cadence.

And while other companies are trying to play catch-up with them, they're testing their Raptor engine for a new rocket that will be dramatically larger than Falcon 9 but with a similar launch cost.

Name anyone who can do propulsive landing the way SpaceX does. They land their rockets on floating platforms in the ocean with amazing precision. Nobody else is remotely close to that kind of engineering feat.

That ("anything other than spiteful") sounds like dehumanizing an opponent. Are you sure that you yourself are willing to consider trade-offs and account for externalities? Consideration would include the possibility of "no regulation". It would include a recognition that regulation often just pushes the jobs out to China, with the pollution blowing back across the ocean and an added helping of pollution from container ships burning bunker fuel.
No, I meant we are biased towards present value rather than future value. I think some of Daniel Kahneman's work has tried to quantify how much higher value the future proposition needs to be before they are equally weighted preferences.

For example, if I give you the choice of $1 today or $1.20 next week, most people take the 'today' choice even though it's objectively worth less. There's a tipping point though when the value of future propositions become more favored.

More to the point of the discussion, how much quality of life today will people be willing to sacrifice for an abstract idea of quality of life (particularly for somebody else) in the future?
