For those interested in radioactive wastelands, the current TV series ‘Chernobyl’ seems very good, and so is the book ‘Chernobyl: The History of a Nuclear Catastrophe’ by Serhii Plokhy

I was tempted to ask if you have any tips for finding such jobs ;) but actually the times when I’ve been most unfulfilled in my career have been when I’ve been bored at work. I’d much rather be working like crazy (within certain parameters), keeps things interesting!

That said I do know people who’ve been paid to turn up at an office and just work on their side projects. Could probably handle that!

I think you raise a lot of valid points, the US is hardly innocent on a historic global basis.

That being said, what's your take on China's behavior specifically, do you believe they are acting in a "fair" manner? Do you believe the advantages they enjoy are all justified? (Note: for the sake of this argument only, karmic payback for US historic behavior is not considered a valid justification.)

EDIT: I'm curious why explicitly acknowledging valid points but then asking a clear and specific question (that excludes these points as they are not directly relevant to current trade with China) is being downvoted? Downvotes for disagreement are appropriate according to HN guidelines (or they used to be), but I'm not asserting anything, I am literally asking a serious question.

The US has a large well-unified market with good transportation and local sources of fuel. That cuts costs.

Other places, like the EU, don't have all that. They also apply some really extreme taxes. Lack of punitive taxes isn't a subsidy. If the taxes are never imposed in the first place, it isn't even a tax credit.

The average gasoline tax in the US is $0.53 per gallon total, combining all taxes. Just the excise tax in Turkey is $4.32 per gallon!!! The average gasoline-specific tax in the 34 advanced economies is $2.62 per gallon, but then a VAT is applied on top of that.

One good way to “change the narrative” is to come up with arguments.

I agree it would be nice to stop criminals from committing crimes in the first place, but until we achieve that we need prisons. And once we achieve it prisons are a moot point.

So it seems she should just focus on making criminals stop committing crimes, if she thinks that is possible. I don’t think she does believe that though, she’s probably not a complete fool
People with adhd are more likely than not-adhd to feel that they could have achieved better academic results than they did.

Another option would be to use colour correction gels like from Rosco. They publish transmission curves for their gels: https://emea.rosco.com/en/products/filters/r3220-double-blue... (click on the little i).
You could take pictures of the light source through a set of different gels and reverse to an approximation of the spectrum of the light source.

Interestingly they are also now offering gels to correct the colour casts of LED lighting: https://emea.rosco.com/en/product/opti-flecs

There are samples swatches of their gels, which can be had by either asking a theatrical lighting supply company or on eBay.
I do something similar. Banks in Germany offer a so called HBCI/FinTS interface (I think it is mandatory for them). There are some open source libraries available to read transaction through this interface. I made a time triggered azure function to read all transactions from the bank for the day before and add them to YNAB via their REST API. Was a fun weekend projet...

We then add categories manually to all transaction on the YNAB app, so... we go through each transaction every couple of days.
Yup, they've set it up so money can flow within their own system and their own economy can prosper, rather than money feeding out to Google or Facebook. Quality of life in China has exploded massively, and things like restaurant prices are reaching American prices, which is insane going back ten years.

And they remix the ideas of western tech and often improve upon it. WeChat is orders of magnitude more convenient than what the US has to offer. Everything is centralized and integrated, what Google tries to do, but adopted everywhere. Book anything, pay for anything, tap phone to pay for anything. I don't expect many places to take phone payments. In China, most everywhere can take phone payments.

Their social networks also seem to do great at getting things naturally viral. I posted a random video without any boosting and it got like 1.5K views in a day.
> Singapore, which is quite "China-friendly" is saying exactly that.

No, that is a fundamental misjudge. Singapore can be safely regarded as one of major anti China forces in the region. If you just look back several years, Singapore actually managed to got itself in the anti China side on almost every single recent major events.

A necessary strategy for any developing nation. If you allow imports with no local manufacturing requirement, other nations have incentives to dump products onto your markets to increase production. Open trade only really works if both sides can see eye to eye. Otherwise the developing nation will be stuck producing cheap products with little to no added value.

The US does this, but I'm glad it's a country where we value being able to openly criticize our government for it.

We have an independent judiciary, democratic institutions--what are structural Separations of Powers which is the most important structure of a civilization consistent with liberty.

China doesn't have that. Saying the US also cheats the rules, too, is important, but shouldn't be confused with the reality that China does it much more abhorrently.
I actually like the feature that shows likes from people I follow. I also like the non-chronological timeline.

To me, both these features reduce the frustration inherent in Twitter's over-abundant timeline where you know you're missing out on 95% of stuff because there's no time to scroll through the whole thing. I know I'm still missing out on 95%, but it feels more prioritized.
I find it scary that you get downvoted for saying something you can find in an economics textbook.
This is the type of comment that really indicates an immensely ignorant oversimplified misunderstanding of the complexity of the Chinese political situation.

China has overthrown harsh rulers many more times than the US has, even taking into account the latter's short and young history. The last time was in 1912, and very plausibly arguably 1949 too. (The Nationalists were pretty bad, objectively speaking.)
I think that depends on how one defines harm. I think we can all agree that bodily assault, destruction of property, and similar are all clear harms. So is a loss of human rights, freedoms, and liberties.

Personally, I find myself deeply skeptical of unprovable, unverifiable, and ultimately vague notions of harm. If you can provide a clear demonstration that someone engaging in hate speech is meaningfully the same as physical violence comitted against a person, I am happy to reassess this position. To be clear, I expect clear criterion for what is hate speech (no "community standards" qualifiers) and proof of consequences as clear as those of other clear harms. Until then, I'm reluctant to infringe on general freedoms in the name of something that does not appear to be a clear harm.

I hate doing this, but I'm also someone who regularly sees hate speech directed against my ethnic group. I am well familiar with the emotional consequences of being on the receiving end of what some might call hate speech.
Funny, I don't see any liked tweets. Either the handful of people I'm following don't like anything, or there's a switch somewhere that I've flipped without paying attention, because now I can't find it.

--> The US is the most advanced country on the planet, therefore it logically follows that they do not need industry protection.

This doesn't seem quite right to me. Are you seeing a perspective that I'm overlooking? Have I perhaps mischaracterized you?

> The answer is clearly that the narrative is purely political and not economical.

Even if we assume for the sake of argument that "Playing up China as an economic enemy..." is completely true, do you consider that a complete proof of the above assertion?

Around half of your population don't seem to want that at all as long as 'their guy' is in power.
Any nation of the Singapore's size would be ruined without trade. That's independent of debt levels, Singapore has to specialize and just cannot run a self-sustaining economy.
And I'm very grateful for that!
US seems to promote free trade for the industries it controls. When it looses to competition it invokes national security, military intervention etc...Trump made clear what was already known.

I am a free trade believer but you must be stupid not to see that US doesn't want free trade. It wants free trade where it works for them, their "free trade", in US dollars of course. If you compete with the US you become a foe, an enemy.

The slippery slope goes in two directions, mainly:

First, if we as society are going to lock them up forever, why not just save ourselves the expense and execute them all.

Secondly, if we are going to do this to Sex Offenders, and it proves really useful and effective, let's start doing it to violent criminals. Then, say, bank robbers. Then, we should get rid of all the drug dealers. The repeat drug users gotta go now. While we're making society better, let's also clean up all the fraudsters and tax cheats.

An example that springs to mind is the way Nazi Germany dealt with the Jewish people. I believe they were morally okay with it, too.

The "free trade" the US propagates is horrible for anyone not in the top 20% of society. Your manufacturing business has been decimated, many people outside coastal areas have been seeing declining standards of living.

Even the EU has many import tariffs to protect its own industries from unfair competition from China and others.

Why should someone who makes bikes in the EU compete with someone who does it for $0,50 an hour in Vietnam or who knows where?

Protecting your own markets is the sensible thing to do. Any country with a decent industrial policy does it.

As someone who watches the very unusual moderation of China-critical comments on HN (+3 one moment, -3 a few hours later) I'm wary of a political piece praising China hitting #1 on HN.

I also don't see the value of Singapore - which is openly anti democratic (https://www.huffpost.com/entry/singapore-challenges-democrac...) providing advice here - as the same concerns about authoritarian corruption that apply to China also apply to Singapore.
These are the small dangers we rob our children of.

I never cleaned it up for release, but if you email me I could send through some interesting bits of it.

I2C and the peripheral we were dealing with is quite stateful, and writing the access code in a synchronous fashion wasn't possible due to overrunning other constraints. It seemed like a good idea at the time. The sibling comment has it pretty right... it would probably have been quicker in the end to go to an RTOS.

That said, I'm still fairly proud of the I2C state machine that runs in the interrupt handler– it was completely separate from the protothread code that layered over the top.

It's in a few microcontrollers in products we do, the funkiest is the smallest standard AVR package you can get, which imitated an obsolete tiny I/O expander chip we had to replace on a 6mm wide PCB. That was using I2C slave mode, but we could then run the entire sensor interfacing on that board rather than using a separate micro.
If you think all those people in prison can be re-integrated you’ve never seen true evil.

"the complexity of the Chinese political situation" = "China has overthrown harsh rulers many more times than the US has" is itself a simplification.

https://vimeo.com/44078865

So is this video, it's also a simplification, but more importantly, it's one of several lines in the sand: China aside, I don't want that where I live. Period. Western companies have already started to censor themselves to not offend China, and this must stop.

I don't reconcile that distinction, it's based on the false premise that you do have the right to the provision of electricity. I don't agree with that on the same premise as healthcare, even if 'society' has agreed.

I think we may have a different conception of what is determined as a right: I tend to conceptualise rights as inherent, things required to allow a human to live to the best of their ability. When we think of rights in this way, they aren't things that can be given; they can only be taken away or protected. If I build a hut when I'm stranded on a desert island, that's my hut and I shouldn't be forced out of it and no one else stranded on the island has a "right" to the product of my labour. If I spend time and effort gathering food, the other people on the island who haven't put that effort in don't deserve some of that food just because they're hungry. Now if I give them some out of pity or for the benefits of keeping a group around me, that's a different story than if they take it by force. If they take it by force, they've committed a moral wrong and violated the right required to live for me.

My approach is unforgiving but its from the perspective of individuals and their property rights. It doesnt exclude empathy and willing charity, just excludes forced empathy and charity.
I'm sorry. US? Free Trade? Huh?

I really don't think POSIX intends seconds to vary in size. And while it's hard to measure the difference over a year with a typical clock, it's very easy to measure the skew over a single day. Skewing over a day is not something for only atomic clocks to worry about. And skewing over more than a day would imply that you want to get dates wrong, which is stretching the language quite a bit...
