If anyone's curious about why this is set up for a ceremony and was left like this (that is, why the timing was so coincidental), it's because the earthquake occurred on the afternoon of March 11, which was a public school graduation day around Japan.

Graduations occur in the morning, with students leaving soon after, so no ceremony would have been interrupted. In the afternoon, teachers generally start unwinding and slowly cleaning up the gym, so the earthquake would have taken place then and that explains why the graduation ceremony decorations and a few chairs/tarps are still out.
> Milton Friedman says that because he's a policy advisor of countries that benefit from others dropping their protectionist policies.

Friedman has been called many things but inconsistent or unprincipled were not among them. He advocated for free trade for the same reasons free trade is the overwhelming consensus of economists; it works and they can explain why whether you want the verbal or mathematical explanation.

Well balanced protectionist polices may be worth it theoretically but all a nation is really doing that way is increasing the variance of their economic growth. It’s a gamble. It could be a costly failure that retards growth for decades before being dismantled as in Ireland, India and Argentina or it could work, as in South Korea or Japan. Note that protectionist policies are not necessary for export lead growth. Hong Kong did just fine with unilateral free trade.
Nobody forces anyone to hear from anyone else on Facebook or Twitter. You can block people, you choose who you follow. That sort of thing is woven into the fabric of the medium itself. TV and radio was traditionally limited to broadcast companies because there was only so much spectrum to go around. The internet is a different thing, it's not exactly analogous to any medium to ever come before it.

I don't even know if you and I have the same definition of extremist. If you mean promoting literal violence or any other illegal activities, you're absolutely right. No one has a right to that kind of speech.

Indeed, but it will hit 2.5Ghz occasionally, or it wouldn't be worth designing the CPU to go that fast.

My guess is it's designed for fast interactive use, so as long as you do your work in bursts of 300ms or less, you will probably get full speed.

Yup, I'm not about to be censored by people downvoting my comments without explanation. I think the downvoting mechanic on HN is stupid.

Of course what I said is an oversimplification. It's meant to directly make you question your deep underlying assumptions, and your own oversimplifications. The government has a lot of power on paper both now and historically. Yet despite this, rebellions have still occurred regularly, and this core central power did not historically cause China to go and colonise other countries committing atrocities there. Perhaps something is missing from your own US-centric legalist analysis?

If "running multiple tasks on an embedded system that share a stack" sounds interesting to you, Rust's RTFM is actually quite clever[0].
It only works on ARM MCUs right now, but tasks are IRQ triggered, have a priority, memory safe, deadlock-free and have very low overhead. Scheduling is done in hardware via the interrupt controller.

if huawei would ban trump from all of their infrastructure, he could do nothing anymore outside US.... :')
US should make policies that are good for its citizens, its factories and its companies, not Singapore.

Singapore can survive as a country with mostly trade, IP, high tech, low taxes, services. Singapore doesn’t even have power plants, all from Malaysia.

But despite the dreams of some people, a big country like US cannot just be a service economy like Singapore.... so while I disagree with Trump on many other issues, I cam’t really fault him here, and I hope next American democratic president will not soften its stance.
You should be earning double.

Do your research and you will see what the going rate is in your location.

You are in a good position to get that pay rise, because your current employer would have to backfill and pay market rates anyway.

In terms of your notice period - if you don't like working there anymore, quit now and then look for jobs after month 1 or 2, so that would give mean your new employer would have to wait only a month.

Or consider contracting.
Many people are talking about Vietnam now, but without realising that they are dealing with the same Chinese factory companies who just expanded their business there.

Read a macroeconomics textbook written more recently than the 1970’s and it will call the infant industry argument theoretically plausible and reference Krugman’s paper on industry clusters. It will spend far more time on the globally optimal and not strategically effected strategy, free trade. We know protectionism can theoretically work. It can also be a massive failure, like in all of post-colonial South Asia and Africa. The only countries that made protectionism work were South Korea, Japan and Taiwan.

FYI, the Singapore public debt is objectively not unsustainable. On the surface, Singapore's public debt-to-GDP ratio is at around 110%, which is slightly higher than the US. Over the course of Singapore's history, each term of the government operated on a balanced budget (i.e., revenue >= expenditure). The government bonds are issue to "develop the domestic debt market". In fact, the government is legally not allowed to spend the proceed of the public debt.

Its abhorrent to me that you think the "social good" is a good enough reason to violate the rights of the individual. Access to food is a social good, but we don't say we should have the state provide universal access to food. We don't say that in housing. You could argue that access to technology is a social good, should the state be providing universal technology? Some people believe anyone with a skin colour that isn't white is adding to "unpleasant social outcomes.

My point really isn't that these things are or aren't social goods, but that the limits to social good and what it can be used to justify are far too vague and far reaching, ending up with the line being drawn only by the person who happens to be in charge at the time. Social good is the justifying call of tyrants.

I advocate for individual rights and property rights for everyone, allowing them to be free from the state using force. That includes the business men making decisions over their companies which is their property and their employees who choose whether or not they want to sell their labour to them.

AFAIK the "jet" in classical jet engines is a jet of air. Unlike rocket engine, where hot combustion gases are your reaction mass, jet engines in aircraft use fuel primarily to spin turbines that compress and move air from the front of the engine to the back of it. You don't need combustible fuel to spin turbines - you can do that with electricity too.

The moment you do the work on-site with the client, with their resources, their equipment, on their laptop that you first need to configure and install, with their environment and everything, dealing with their bureaucracy, work time goes way up.

Had you done this from home on your own machine after they quickly mailed you the necessary resources, you'd have been done within those 20 hours, but frankly, large corporations don't really care. $18,000 is still pocket money for them, and they apparently prefer if you do everything their way instead of your own.

You didn't just deliver a static html page, you delivered a static html page as part of their process.

I do almost entirely projects for large clients like that, and it's not unusual that just getting started takes a week. I used to get frustrated about that, but it's their choice, and now I just go along with it.

It does underscore how unbelievably inefficient large companies really are.

The "whole disaster" was actually a tsunami caused by an earthquake under the sea, and problems around the nuclear plant are just a tiny side-issue compared to the devastation caused by the tsunami.

Perhaps the government - many successive governments - could have changed zoning, building code etc so that the disaster would have been smaller, but the nuclear element of the "whole disaster" is just a minor component.
Free trade is free for whom?

Monopolies?

Capitalists?

If we had the same rules everywhere and effectively one global government then we could have free trade. But we have sovereign nations with their own national interests.

Therefore trade always has to be a deal. Either the deal is a good one or it is not. We have had problems before with Japan, for instance they like to grow their own rice rather than just ship in 'Uncle Ben's' rice from Uncle Sam. Rice grown in Japan by real Japanese people on real rice terraces is much more expensive than rice churned out by U.S. agri-business. But do the U.S. agri-businesses have a right to demand free trade, pushing the Japanese small farmers out of business?

What sense does it actually make to do that? The product - rice - can be locally sourced with a lot of human effort gone into the production of it. This keeps people in Japan gainfully employed in agriculture. Japanese consumers also prefer the local product, it is more to their tastes.

Should this protectionism go on forever? Well, yes, it is not as if the local rice farmers in Japan are going to be competing for global exports.

So we have something similar with China and every other nation. I think that China are doing very well in tech thanks to the Great Firewall of China, they have versions of Wikipedia, Facebook, Google and Amazon - the world is richer for this diversity.

What is wrong with the U.S. approach to protectionism? They could be honest about Huawei and state that they wish to have domestic companies do 5G just because they have national interest to do so. They could be honest about their own 'Great Firewall' which is what the NSA is and be up front that the government feels it needs to spy on the citizens lest any of them get revolutionary thoughts.

The rest of the world is fine about U.S. protection of the pickup truck market. We get it - the U.S. needs Detroit and Detroit needs pickup trucks as they can't make competitive cars.

If the U.S. was claiming that Toyota and VW trucks were unsafe that would be wrong, that is what is going on with the Huawei situation, there are these allegations that are not substantiated by facts.

It is ridiculous that the U.S. is struggling with trade given how rich the country is from a land/resources point of view, how the U.S. owns the world's reserve currency and how almost all oil/energy has to be traded in USD. No other countries have these perks.

China has no territorial ambitions beyond Taiwan. This is benign, a bit like Ireland wanting Ulster back rather than Britain wanting to enslave India. They may peg their currency and have this Great Firewall, however, who is to say that they are wrong in not wanting their great nation to be ravaged by global capitalism? We just need to strike actual trade deals with China in the West, affording the Chinese people and their leaders some respect.
Does anybody believe that perfect equality (of wealth, of opportunity, of w'ever) is possible? Does that mean we as a society shouldn't bother establishing equality as goal?

In a large election a single vote doesn't matter. And yet if we permitted that fact to dissuade us from voting nobody would vote and democracy as we practice it would be impossible.

I haven't read Gilmore's writings, and I'm basing my interpretations off the article author's gloss--their selected quotations and elaborations--but applying the rule of lenity and in light of some of her very cogent points (that private prisons aren't a big problem, that the vast majority of prisoners are in fact violent offenders) it would seem that she's applying the same principles as Plato and MLK. Specifically, that society can only achieve and will only reap that which it orders itself around.

Whether irrepressibly violent people will always exist is beside the point. If we build a system directed toward the management of such people, then those are the people we're going to get, above and beyond whatever genetically predetermined base rate we might otherwise find in the population.

How does Gilmore translate her abolitionist position into specific policy prescriptions? I don't know. Maybe they're contentious; maybe I'd disagree with them altogether. But at least superficially I don't see abolitionism particularly inconsistent. I doubt you feel compelled to demand that a Get Out the Vote volunteer explain to you why voting matters, or demand that a "Why Voting Matters" article provide a concrete proof for why it matters. It's more intuitive that voting could only matter in so far as enough people have internalized the notion that it matters and act accordingly. Americans, I think, lack that intuition and suspension of disbelief when it comes to violence and crime. Some things are self-fulfilling prophecies--if we believe or don't believe, that's what we'll get. How societies manage to shift from one set of expectations to the polar opposite... that's still something of a mystery, but surely it involves being open to advocates like Gilmore.
Welcome to politics, where laws and such are merely the tools to transferring power from A to B.

Show HN: Dart API client generator now supports Dart 2.3
Thanks to the contribution by "ircecho" (https://github.com/OpenAPITools/openapi-generator/pull/2894), the Dart API client generator in the OpenAPI Generator project now supports Dart 2.3 which was released recently. Here are a few steps to generate Dart API client given an OpenAPI specification file:

1. Download the Java JAR (https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/org/...)

2. Rename the JAR as "openapi-generator-cli.jar"

3. Run the following command to generate a Dart API client for the Petstore API (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OpenAPITools/openapi-gener...):

Mac/Linux:

- java -jar openapi-generator-cli.jar generate -g dart -i https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OpenAPITools/openapi-gener... -o /var/tmp/dart-api-client/

Windows:

- java -jar openapi-generator-cli.jar generate -g dart -i https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OpenAPITools/openapi-gener... -o C:\tmp\dart-api-client

Please give it a try and let us know if you've any feedback.
White House asks users of Facebook,Google,Twitter to share censorship stories
Hong Kong had unilateral free trade throughout decades of almost uninterrupted economic growth. If you produce cheap products you develop expertise that you can leverage to eventually produce more expensive ones. This process of learning by doing does not depend on tariff barriers and tariff barriers will not make it work either. Argentina produced cars domestically for decades that were more expensive and higher price than the world market and as soon as tariff protection was withdrawn the industry disappeared, after having wasted millions of dollars over decades.

Another thought occurred to me regarding sex offender treatment. You might think that it's for the benefit of the criminal, but it's not, really. A properly run program "fingerprints" offender behavior, making it easier to solve crimes by helping eliminate suspected offenders who don't fit the pattern.

And, hey, if an offender is real serious about staying out of prison after release, he can learn good self management tools, too.
Yes, it sounds crazy, and it really is: how on earth can someone spin an uncontained failure like Chernobyl into a story about how "inherently safe" nuclear energy is?! It "only" killed 200 people (probably according to nuclear-friendly researchers, although no sources are quoted) so it must be safe!

Virtually no land use, despite nobody wanting to live besides a nuclear reactor?
My argument was that renewables can provide the same unlimited power (and the "constant" part can be done via batteries or other means, given sufficient investment.
No other energy source comes even close to nuclear when it comes to "hidden" lifecycle costs. Alone the fact that a nuclear plant is not insurable shows, that nuclear depends on enormous public subsidies and will never be commercially viable on itself.

Interesting that I am getting downvoted without anyone providing any arguments or facts against my narrative.
