Has it occurred that the US opposition to using telecom equipment from Huawei might be because they can't send them a national security letter or otherwise force them to make a backdoor (kind of like how Apple resisted) for domestic spying?

I feel like if China were to backdoor 5G equipment deployed to the US it'd be relatively trivial to detect by operators, and absolutely crippling to the market share of Huawei if they were found to compromise their equipment.
Seems like a safe bet the answer is "no"
Insurance companies (mysterious higher rates), existing daycare staff, and parents who are very suspicious of male workers. It’s a socially acceptable discrimination.
My understanding was that East Germany actually had a better standard of living generally than your average Russian at that time.

So their thoughts that they were doing alright compared to Russia at that time was probably right.
Create React app includes almost no extra client facing code other than react. There is an issue with how you made the application.
Why does it seem so strange to me that they sell the hand controllers separately. Not that it's not a bundle with the headset, but that the left hand and right hand controllers must be bought individually. Can you get by with just one so you pick which ever works with your dominant hand? Or am I just really thinking like a cheapo?
I've also seen that figure thrown around quite a bit and I'm a bit skeptical. It also makes the question of profit redistribution particularly interesting given the tone DHH employs everywhere.

It had a 16-bit graphics processor, which arguably was a lot more important for its software than whether the CPU was 16-bit.

See also the TurboGrafx-16 console, which had a similar arrangement: an 8-bit 6502-descendent and a 16-bit graphics chip. It got a lot of flak for being “fake 16-bit”. I think the Lynx was better able to get away with it because it was on such a different level than other handhelds of the time (besides maybe the expensive portable version of the TG-16!), whereas the TG-16 had to go up against the 68000-based Sega Genesis.
That's the only reading.
If you are interested in such topics you can read up on valuations in a corporate finance book. With high growth companies like Tesla the majority of the valuation comes from expected future growth. If the expected growth changes the valuation can be dramatically different.
> It’s also pretty insulting to throw the word tweens in there, implying that transgender issues are just a tween phase.

They didn't imply that at all, the problem is that we are performing life changing cosmetic surgery on people not mature enough to consent. The other issue is that it doesn't really treat the disorder, it transforms the body to match the mind, all other psychiatry tries to get the mind to adapt to it's environment, it's a failure of psychiatry.
This is absolutely wrong.

I live in an "old" neighborhood where the houses are about 60 years old or more. The house prices have doubled in the last 6 years, and they are almost 2M. Old houses go up much faster because they are in much much better locations.
There are multiple controller options now. Maybe mix and match, but also imagine breaking and needing to replace just one.

So I get the reasoning but would still expect a bundle option just for simplicity
If the Huawei tech operates on the same frequencies as US military tech, that is reason enough to see the embargo. It is one reason why LEO satellite internet has taken so long, because the plans typically get near some of the frequencies that old maritime GPS devices use and they can't be interrupted.
what was fascinating to me was how I fitted into the MUST SHOULD MAY MAYBE-NOT DONT matrix (in pseudo-normative form)

I used all but one of the MUSTS.

I used a few of the SHOULD

I used a similar few of the MAY

I only used one of the MAYBE-NOT (pow, and I am doing base arithmetic but not crypto)

I don't think I use any of the DONT

I'm interested in moving up on the SHOULD and MAY
>> "What is gained by classifying speech as violence rather than simply vilifying the type of speech without the violence label? What is lost? "

Gained: the ability to identify how words and actions can eventually lead to physical (or other kinds of) violence rather than be surprised when it happens. Maybe it could even lead to intervention!

Lost: awe and mystery at how physical violence happens? I'm at a loss. Having language and concepts to understand stuff is pretty handy.

>> "What you are referring to here has been, in the past, considered a call to violence (or perhaps an implied call to violence)."

Call to violence is more direct. "Go murder that asshole!" The many faces of non-physical violence are rarely so direct.

Economic violence, for example, can set the conditions for physical violence. If prejudice as manifested through poverty (economic violence) makes it impossible for someone to live a good life, they may go out and rob someone or join a gang. They're more vulnerable to radicalization in general.

In my experience, people who get hung up on the "violence" part don't really care what you call it. They reject the idea of words mattering wholesale. Using gay as an insult, calling black people thugs, and the many worse kinds of awful never go anywhere, so it doesn't matter to them. To them, there's no point in caring in the first place.

You don't even get to discussing what to call harmful words and systems with them because they don't see that words can lead to harm and they reject the notion of human systems. We might as well call it violence and be done with it. You weren't going to find a palatable alternative.

It's a philosophical difference between "...and words can never hurt me" and "...words precede the sticks and stones." The former is fun to say before a bully kicks your ass. The latter is more reasonable once you've seen what words can do.

Or more simply: If words don't matter, who cares if I call non-physical violence violence? They're just words...

It's all bullshit.

I once did some consulting for a very well known person in the financial services industry, a recognized leader in the field. As part of that work I got to see his financial "models". They took the form of the most incredibly complicated Excel spreadsheets I have ever encountered. They were real monsters with hundreds of thousands of rows, dozens of workbooks.

Being a software engineer, I wrote some code to reverse-engineer them. I wrote some VB to dump all the formulas as text, and then wrote a parser and code analyzer. The result was a real eye-opener. 90% of the formulas were dead code that didn't actually play into the results at all. The rest was still a mess, but when I started combing through it I discovered that even the live code didn't really matter to the results because at the end there was a "fudge factor" that the guy just set according to his gut feel about the market, and this was the main thing that determined the final result.

I didn't last long in that job.
It's typically done by estimating future earnings that "belong" to shareholders, and then computing the current value of those earnings.

That's a dramatically over simplified explanation, though. Look up divided discount model (DDM) and discounted cash flows (DCF) for more info. There are other methods as well, but most rely on the same principals.
I don't wait until 9am because my co-workers and my managers accept me the way I am. And I think that's how it should be.

Beyond all the comments about the poor fixability of the MBP (screens), the absolutely horrid keyboard and the laughable amount of RAM in a $3200 laptop, who actually wants these things? They are unusable for a professional who actually types on them all day and now with the ever increasing Intel performance tax why spend the extra money on a processor that will likely have 30-50% less performance than claimed the day you buy it. Apple has become the brand of excess and ignorance.
For me it's an anxiety thing. There are certain things I just can't get started on although I clearly know that I can do them well and quickly. I also know that not doing them often causes me a lot of pain but I still won't do them. I don't understand it myself. It makes no sense.

My suggestion is that you can build a proxy server in China, and you can test your website bypass the proxy server to see if your website is work.
Chinese cloud host like Aliyun or QCloud may monitor if you have a proxy server like shadowsocks server in their default template os, so you must reinstall it or provide your own template os.
Well, that’s the point: You ‘expected’ your mind to be ‘calm’, and when your mind don’t do it what you want, you frustrated. Meditation shouldn’t be about ‘forcing’ your mind to be calm, but to let it calm, naturally. Like the muddy water in the glass, when you left it still enough, the silt will go the bottom, and the water’s clear.

What you might do instead, other than focus your mind in your body somewhere(or your breathe) is just ‘observe’ your mind as it is, like when you observe other people. Is your mind confusing?, can’t stop thinking?, fine, be whatever it want. Is your mind calm?, that’s fine, too, but don’t expect it to be calm forever, because it won’t, and that’s also fine. You don’t judge it, you don’t expect what you want to feels because you heard other people said that. You just observe it with non-judgemental, neutral feeling.

In fact, don’t even care about how long you’ve practice it, because that also raise the expectation ‘Why did my mind is not calm even after months+ of practice?’ and it’ll pressure you to force your mind to calm even more. Some day you feel good, some day you feel sleepy, some day you confusing, and that’s ok

— you just did it, everyday.

My mentor said that your mind is like growing a tree, you can’t force it to grow into giant tree instantly. You just water it, everyday. The change is not even noticeable, but after awhile when you look back, you’ll see how much the plant growth.

The peaceful feeling will come naturally when your mind is ready enough.

Good luck mate!

My landlords son was crippled by arthritis in his teens. He was in a wheel chair. The doctors and physical therapists in New Zealand tried everything they could.

I can't find the note, only the same quotes from it.

I imagine the basic assumption is that if the market is tapped out, revenues will slow, plateau and then begin to fall before Tesla reaches sustained profitability. That means debts will begin to grow again.

Current book value is about $26 a share, of which about $12 is cash on hand. If debt remained constant but no new cash came in, book value goes to $14 at the moment of bankruptcy. Discounting for "bankruptcy really sucks for shareholders", $10 is a fairly defensible worst-case.
100% I've seen the same thing. But they think they're all brilliant masters of the universe. Frightening when you think on how common place that is in the industry. That said, I do believe that the larger firms have begun to evolve away from that.

I sort of hate Menard's, but they do charge a lot less than the better builder stores.

Another small town I've lived in had a Home Depot and a higher end builder store right across the street.

Amazon Supply is pretty useless, and Small parts was never really great either.
I feel like the power management through USBC on the new Macbooks is not good. Frequently my CPU would overheat whenever I was charging my computer.
Small Parts used to be an indispensable source of well cataloged parts for my projects. They shipped quickly and reliably and had a nice parametric search system.

Sadly they were acquired by Amazon and effectively ruined. In theory Amazon sells the same parts but Amazon's search for specialized parts is dreadful, and when you find a part it's often out of stock or available with a long lead time from a dubious supplier.

To me Small Parts is the classic example of how Amazon is systematically stamping out smaller but better suppliers. I'm not sure why Amazon even needed to acquire them. They could have sold those types of parts anyway. I wonder if they simply wanted the smallparts.com url, which now leads to Amazon.

I should clarify why I liked Small Parts vs McMaster Carr: I'm in Canada and Small Parts would ship to Canada, but McMaster Carr would not ship here unless you had a business, but my work was for a hobby.

The more regulations you have, the less market freedom you have, so it is either or. Of course it's on a spectrum, from total government control, to total market freedom, but that doesn't change the fact that these are mutually exclusive properties, that exist in inverse proportion of each other.

Supermarkets and the food supply chain are far less regulated than hospitals and the healthcare supply chain. That's why they've seen far greater gains in efficiency.

I think arriving at a hard percentage would be difficult, but I don't see how it is controversial that US government funded research has been well supported by capitalism and contributed much medical knowledge, or that there has been lots of private research and development work in the medical field in the United States (I guess lots and lots of development has been privately funded).

Of course, that history played out that way is a different argument than claiming that we could only arrive at our current level of medical knowledge by that path.

If the salt is static, the hash becomes the password. Nobody does this.

If the hash is dynamic, the password has to be stored in plaintext. Kerberos does something like this.

Neither of these are better than the current state of the art. Read up on SRP for a public-key based system that does something like what you want.

Third party data access should go through OAuth, not by sharing passwords to services.

Here in the UK, I have to wait about three weeks for a GP appointment. The NHS target for routine appointments with a specialist is 18 weeks, but that target is habitually missed.

We do spend less than half as much on healthcare per capita than the US and we have better health outcomes by most measures, but it's very much a no-frills system.

>>this market would never be a free market. Because the buyer will never be in the position to make the decision to not buy the good.

A free market does not mean a market where a buyer has a choice of not buying something. It only means one where the market choices of agents are not constrained by coercive intervention of other agents.

We need to buy food, but the market for food is still quite free, and consequently, very efficient.
Check out ebay, it's filled with used/old xps notebooks in good condition. Your single experience isn't necessarily reality. I agree that nothing competes with apple for the trackpad experience. But the screen on latest XPS beats the Macbook Pro. The XPS also offers a much better keyboard experience compared to the butterfly keyboard. And it's keyboard isn't inherently flawed and susceptible to malfunctioning due to dust.

I agree older macbooks were simply amazing and definitely a cut above the rest. But my point is that compared to the latest macbook pro, the 3 laptops I mentioned are very good competitors. It didn't used to be like this. Apple may have produced very reliable laptops many years ago, but that's no longer the case.
Financial analysts use one of three approaches. There's the "whatever my gut tells me" approach, which is surprisingly common. There is modern portfolio theory. And nowadays there's machine learning. And it's all bullshit. MPT is bullshit because it uses volatility as its model of risk, which is IMHO the wrong model. They use it because it's something they can measure and so write academic papers about without sounding like they're just making shit up, but volatility does not actually correspond with what most people consider the word "risk" to mean. It also relies on the assumption that past volatility is a reliable predictor of future volatility for a particular security, which is often not true. And ML is bullshit because if you throw enough data at a regression algorithm it will find something that looks like a signal but will in fact almost certainly just be a coincidence if you actually do the statistical analysis properly.

So yes, I'm probably being a bit harsh. There are probably analysts who actually know something, and MPF is actually not totally worthless. But "it's all BS" is a pretty good first-order approximation.
