China's goal is to eliminate social upheaval, mostly centered on the concept of full employment. Without it, the country risks social upheaval.

Their second goal is a growing economy, so that the people can be richer, on the thinking that richer people have more to lose, and less like to cause social upheaval.

The end result of this is that China will continue to contort itself to satisfy its goal. Just like the Thanksgiving Turkey, this works great...right up until it doesn't.

What I hope HN people are doing in the background is contemplating what happens on that Day of Reckoning, and how it impacts them and their lives.

If that day happened tomorrow, commodity prices would drop across the board. Oil would drop, as would gas, coal, grains, livestock. That would be great (unless you are employed in those industries).

Then, real estate prices will drop, as the Chinese trying to get money out of the country won't be able to (it likely will be devalued, and possibly near worthless). Vancouver, and Canadian real estate in general will have price collapses. This will cause Canadian bank failures, and dry up credit in Canada.

Meanwhile, companies with significant exposure in China will see their stock drop. Cash flow will be reduced, and for some, significantly. Assets may have to be marked-down to lower book values.

Further, the companies that depend on the aforementioned firms will endure hardships of product logistics - manufacturing, inventory, and quality control will all go a little haywire.

Firms that can move their supply chains out of China quickly will do so, helping various other countries.

But countries that have significant percentages of their GDP devoted to raw materials production (such as Africa, the Arabian peninsula, Russia, and Australia) will go into recession, and some into depression.

That will result in a drying up of global capital (probably quickly, as bankers run faster than most when they hear canaries chirp), and global shipping.

I could go on, but you get the idea. So much of our lives (wherever we live) depend on supply chains that either run through China, or are significantly affected by China (like concrete and steel), that we are all going to be effected, and economically speaking, it won't be pretty for the world.
Life often incentivizes immoral actions. That's not usually considered a mitigating factor.
In the common setup where there is a central database shared by developers, you really can't keep the database in sync with all of the code. Furthermore the manual nature of keeping things in sync means that there will be errors. Hopefully those are caught in staging, but I've seen this not always work.
That's such an overlooked problem. Companies with healthy finances might have all the comforts like great chairs, tables and IT equipment but the rooms might just be overheated and have bad air. Would be great if this would be added to the list of ergonomics.

In fact this is probably one of the undisputed pros of an open office, the air quality is most of the times quite good.
But crucially, has support from Samsung, ARM holdings, Qualcomm and, now, even Apple.
Nice idea... perhaps i will try to build this feature more generic and instead of only a chapter detection feature i will add a plugin interface, so that hooks could be defined for merge, split or chapter... But this is far far in the future ;)
Google has tracked office air quality for years, e.g. through the Aclima partnership.

That's basically because Larry Page really, really cares about it. He's kinda like your friend with a Kubrick obsession that can't stop bringing up facts:

https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/727189428142235648

He was on to something! Jokes aside, I think he just has a heightened sense of smell and that's why he had air filters stronger than law requirements installed everywhere, at least in Mountain View.
What about the over priced condos they are buying overseas? What happens when those prices fall too?

Linus Tech Tips put out a video this week on Floatplane about the Pinebook (not the Pro edition) and it was woefully underpowered. CPU was compared to the PS3 and GPU was compared to the original Xbox, for reference. It barely ran with the stock software (they had to install updates/new software to get it running) and was unable to play a 480p YouTube video fullscreen without noticeable frame drops. The hardware in it and their tablet and phone prototype are several generations out of date (easiest example is WiFi only being 802.11n and single band). They were also unable to get Windows running on it when they tried using a Raspberry Pi image, if that is something you care about. Pine64 themselves claim that the machine is not a daily driver.

The Pinebook Pro looks more respectable hardware-wise, but I would avoid looking at it as a daily driver until you can find reviews of it saying otherwise. I had been looking at the phone a few days before and was astonished at how outdated the hardware was, even for an open source device that is possibly upgradeable.
Not surprised by the 40% gas figure. Fracking sites are popping up all over the country here. It's sad.

But I wonder where Drax, the largest CO2 emitter in the UK fit in there? As far as I'm aware, they burn coal and wood only.

Good point, forgot about the latter part, that probably would help in some cases. Gotta ask some licensing experts about that one.

From what I see, only a tiny part of the potential market for embedded Qt and things like that can get away with "no updates possible", but still, applies for some.

Ownership doesn't mean the same thing in liberal democracies and in more or less oppressive countries. It's an abstract concept which gets translated into reality day by day, depending on other people's actions.

Sure, you may "own" a piece of land with a building on it that you had paid for, but the govt can seize it without repaying fair value. Or you may fully "own" a company, but you can only make decisions that fall in line with the party's line.
Master's degree and making over 500k a year, so I'm going to assume you are an intelligent person and were able to understand the terms of the H1-B visa program and the limits regarding green cards 17 years ago when you intially applied for a visa.

The conditions may have their downsides but they are the ones you agreed to and in exchange for agreeing to them you were provided access to opportunities that would not have been available to you in your home country. It sounds to me like now that you have reaped the benefits you want to stop paying the price you agreed to in exchange for those benefits.
Those T&Cs can't overrule laws that say the opposite, and in the EU, such laws already exist.

you give them all that valuable personal and private data and then also pay them? why are you so resigned to this? the tradeoff for knowing everything about you gives you what, a few less taps on your phone?

people ignored or minimized it then, but their direction was abundantly clear by 2004 or so: search -> adwords -> adsense -> gmail ---> all-your-data-everywhere (gmail seemed cool at the time until the realization of where all this was going). how is it that so many people are just now waking up to the dangers of google (and facebook, incidentally)?

That’s a terrible excuse since 1) there are plenty of remote/virtualisation tools that let you easily test any browser or platform 2) same logic applies to mobile 3) iPhone has up to 80% share in many locations, Macs up to 25% share in some demographics

I absolutely do not understand how you believe trusting an individual on the internet creating a fly-by-night service is better than trusting a company with 20-years in the industry, and GMail a product that has been around for 15-years.

You're hosting all of this on a single machine -- with no redundancy -- with no DDoS protection -- and it makes me seriously doubt your sysops and opsec skills to be able to deliver a secure and reliable product to your customer.

;; ADDITIONAL SECTION:
box.normail.co. 3464 IN A 178.62.214.105

ns2.box.normail.co. 3430 IN A 178.62.214.105

If you are wishing to achieve your objective of moving people off Google, you should be suggesting a provider that _does_ have the infrastructure to provide a reliable service, that is a reputable organization with a proven track record for good sysops and opsec, and is an alternative to Google.

The most important part about e-mail is longevity. It is making sure your emails can not be read by malicious actors. It is making sure your email is never down. For many people it is the absolute backbone of their business and maybe their life. I absolutely would never put this much trust in a service like this. It is preying on ignorant paranoid people with impaired risk analysis who (like you) believe Google is the devil.
China is a threat to freedom everywhere.

I know games seem like a tiny thing, right? But it matters when a government suppresses freedom of expression, even when it comes to a silly video game.

China sees it as their prerogative to do whatever they want to their people, including, by the way, detaining hundreds of thousands without charges in re-education camps.
Yes! My team has recently moved our services/applications into docker through azure... Trying to understand what parts of docker we needed through their site was an absolute nightmare, it's all marketing stuff and very little on what each 'service' actually does.

For me the worst part is that you don't own the pocket-computers (PC/phones) that you buy.... please let me install an OS that I can trust.

there is https://wiki.galliumos.org/Hardware_Compatibility for ChromeOS devices but on many phones, it is currently not possible to install a 3rd party OS, unless you figure out how to root them yourself... and even then, some of its hardware will probably not be compatible because they don't release drivers

While I generally agree with everything you say for a particular audience, i.e., someone who is writing something to explain an idea to someone else, I think that at the same time this scoping limits the utility of Jupyter too much.

I believe that there is an audience for Jupyter beyond just "data scientist", or "teacher". I think that what Jupyter encourages is _experimentation_, and there are lots of folks who could benefit by using Jupyter to experiment with ideas. If you consider programmer as another audience, we all at different points in time experiment with things. Think about all of those random console applications that we've all created at one point or another to learn a new API, or to try out an idea. Jupyter can (and does) excel in these scenarios and handles the mundane task of "writing things down". This is why adding a Jupyter experience to a text editor is something that we're experimenting with as well.

Again I refer you to RHEL who have an open source version and an enterprise subscription.

But the enterprise version is the open source version. Red Hat just didn't provide the binaries, now they even provide the binaries (since they acquired CentOS). Since White Box Linux, CentOS, and Scientific were started (which was pretty quickly after they launched enterprise Linux), they have been selling per-machine support and 'blame us when it does not work' licenses.

A similar approach may have worked, but it is not a given. Red Hat and SUSE arrived on the market when there we no big open source support companies. Once containerization turned out to be a good idea, the other open source companies could quickly adopt and provide support contracts for the same tech (which they have done).
Specifically concerning the camps in China, every single thread I've seen has a number of people defending it. It appears to be mostly commenters who greatly fear islam and/or Chinese individuals who support the current regime.
Liking to write SQL can easily make you think ORM is tend to have more mistakes or become out-of-control, but in fact, you can fix certain bottlenecks later and combine with raw queries without having to get non-ORM overall.
Thanks for the response and that is definitely a fair question. I removed the lol and dude-o, apologies, I shouldn’t be rude to potential customers and naysayers alike. I am going to do a bit of research and get back to you. At the end of the day, I feel like people want to support indie vs larger corps. Call it the middle finger to the man effect.

> Without providing a specific use case or criteria then it's impossible to say.

The use case for me is for a fun weekend car with occasional track use. It must be fun to drive both at sensible, safe road speeds but also come alive when pushed on track. It shouldn't cost too much (I paid £10,000 for the car I just purchased that has both these characteristics), be affordable to insurance, run and fix when required. It should also be possible to upgrade and have a well supported aftermarket.
Your perception system doesn't report some sort of fixed reality. It surfaces the information that is most relevant to you and what you want to do. For example, better batters playing baseball will literally perceive the ball as larger.

And it works. I find myself pitching Azure to my web dev clients, partly because I can deploy my C# project directly to an Azure Web App with a single button inside Visual Studio.
everything on this page boils down to 2 simple things:
1) google ads should verify domain ownership of destination domains (via webmaster tools, etc)
2) google should expand the "feature" of supporting tracker redirects to allow "final" domain owners to disallow the use of interim clicks (so ebay can simply say: "no, I will always go straight to ebay.com, which I own, and any ad that points to me at any step must also point only to and straight at me")
> And i don't believe for a second the data they're allowing you to "autodelete" genuinely gets deleted. It just gets removed from your view.

While "deleted" might take a while (eventual consistency FTW), any company with a presence in the EU has a lot to lose if such a scheme (beyond what they declare, eg. "31 days to recover your account") ever sees the light of day.

Chernobyl's exclusion zone was ~1000 mi^2, consisting of ~120,000 people. The Oroville dam evacuation zone is ~250mi^2 encompassing ~180,000 people. Floods are no laughing matters; the Chinese decision to break the levees of the Yellow River during the Second Sino-Japanese War is credited with killing 400,000 people or so and rendering millions homeless, and the land was unusable for the better part of a decade, not "a month."

> 2.) The area is unlivable (or even inaccessible) for a much smaller duration of month instead of millenia.

Millennia of uninhabitability is anti-nuclear propaganda. Most of the zone will be reinhabitable within a century of the accident, and much of it is already inhabitable again but still excluded out of safety margin concerns.

Alt. take: one could not reuse the turbines, at least not efficiently. One might be able to reuse other parts of the steam/condensate/feed systems. The electrical systems could largely be reused.

I doubt that reusing anything other than the power distribution and cooling loops would be economical.
One of the example games distributed with PICO-8 has a "glitch mode" that POKEs at a random spot in memory every few seconds. The game becomes progressively more corrupted as you play, creating an effect similar to a NES cartridge that needs cleaning.

Hey, I posted the notebook by the OP. Thank you for your feedback! You're correct in saying that FB Prophet is for forecasting time series with strong seasonal effects. FB Prophet was the model used in the original script I found & the main point here was simply to make the notebook more readable on kyso, which has quite a few non-technical readers. I've worked a lot with ARIMAs before for financial/economic data and I like the idea of comparing the results between the two, and maybe even extend the time frame. So 1. I think that'll be my next project and 2. if your project is public I'd love to give it a read when published.
As opposed to acrylic?
Yeah, but Walnut Creek is the same travel time to downtown. And it gets more than 10 days of sunshine a year.

But even if my figure is wrong then it's only because I accidentally posted it from three or four years in the future. But I suppose it's good news that a one bedroom is only $40k a year rather than $60k. At the moment anyway. And if you made 100k, then it's only 2.5 times more than taxes and leaves you a full 40% of your salary to thrive on, so that's nice.

As a country it is just good resource strategy to use up all the resources that are cheap to get in other countries first so when they start to run out, not only do you have a source that is close to home and easy to get, but you can now sell your resources at the higher price.

I don't think it's a deeply unpopular feature, I think it's deeply unethical the way it was presented to me as a user. And it's not the reminder that bothers me. It's that I don't trust Google not to share the data they extract from my private communications.

Financial information in particular can be used against you by a number of parties, and it's been used to discriminate against people in the past. When it comes to the collection of that data by scanning private communications, the ethical alarm bells should have been ringing, and the fact they collect that data should be disclosed and be opt-in (or opt-out).

If it's a matter of "if you don't pay for the product you are the product" that's not true - I did pay a lot of money for their product (I own a Pixel device), and if they offered an email product that I could pay for with the solace that it wouldn't be reading my emails, I would.
The ISO keyboard is unfortunately a true bummer. I hate that layout with a passion and would gladly pay extra to have an ANSI layout keyboard (the one with the flat Enter and the backslash above it) and even install it myself if it's feasible.

Good luck on the launch.
