>US companies have now been shown for what they really are: an extension of the US government.

This is true, and the world has just seen a great demonstration of the risks involved in using US companies.

As pointed out by others other countries could do this as well but none of them could have such an immense impact as the US doing it.

Sure China is being targetted now, but other countries will wonder who is next, especially with a president who acts as fast and arbitrarily as Trump

The most positive outcome of this mess would be if enough countries get scared of being cut off that they work together to create alternatives. Or less so they work independently to create local alternatives.

When it comes to CPUs though I am not so sure.
The x86 line is a complicated beast with lots of patents,
and it would take a long time to build a fab to create them.
iTunes has been the only way to do it since the iPhone was released.
Why not Safari? It's fast, power-efficient, and native.
It probably needs to be pointed out that this is a post from John Carmack. I almost didn't click on it due to the facebook.com domain but spotted his name in the comments here. Obviously Carmack is still highly regarded and respected in the industry and his opinions quite rightly hold a lot of weight, despite his current choice of employer / platform.
This is certainly not unique to America but it's true the "poor people suck" vibe seems especially prevalent there.
You can enable it in Firefox, but it's not on by default IIRC.

https://cameratico.com/guides/firefox-color-management/

EDIT: That's the desktop - can't speak for the mobile version. I really hope they turn it on by default in the new mobile browser they're building. Also, thanks, I had enabled the color management a long time ago but it apparently was disabled again in a recent upgrade or something.
Google attempted to fix Chrome against Spectre but gave up, so what you're saying about no feasible attack is not true.

See: https://v8.dev/blog/spectre

> we quickly discovered that software mitigation of all possible leaks due to Spectre was infeasible.

Are there many other security issues that are easier to exploit with potentially higher impact? Sure. Does this mean that Spectre is fixed or can be mitigated in software? No. It's a bit like the formerly theoretical timing attacks against TLS: attacks only get better.
Insert Coin to Play: Space Invaders and the Coin Shortage Myth [pdf]
I think you can ask yourself that question with a lot of Microsoft products these days, and we use (and like) a lot of them at my place if business.

I mean Microsoft has the upper hand compared to Google or AWS because they are better at GDPR and privacy shield stuff. Microsoft is also miles better in terms of enterprise support, but it’s those reasons and not their solutions that sell.
Until last year, I was buying refurbished S5's on Amazon for that price. Unfortunately, the set of apps I run finally bogged that phone down.

I personally ditched them due to them pushing BAT to heavily on those that don't want to participate and Sync being broken randomly.
Show HN: Empirical – a language for time-series analysis
>It would be interesting to see if Chinese companies would even be interested in leading something like an Android fork....and follow the licensing rules.

There are plenty open source projects from China, so I do not see why you think they do not know the benefits of the open source. The problem with Android is that there is a large part that is closed source so they can't fork that, if they reimploement it then they are not forced by any license to make it open source.
I think they're saying that it's not a very appealing place to work if you can get $500k or higher offer from the Googles and Facebooks of the world.
>Why do people assume that the Chinese military wants to spy on random european citizens?

Same reason(s) they or anyone spy on their own?

Hmm. To me, this isn't about US-vs-CN or other polarizing clickbait. Rather it's about the role that open source and open standards could or should play. Which immediately brings us to: how have we come into this situation that Android is based on Linux, yet it's the largest spyware on the planet? The US decision is entirely based on info warfare and spionage arguments AFAICS. It's silently assumed, even goes without saying, that the Android user base is seen as powerless kettle, and mind slave to whoever controls the tech stack. It's only the question who is in control. Unsettling questions for naive F/OSS zealotry.
It’s been a long time since I looked into it but I remember a version of Office like 20 years ago that integrated with version control. I wonder if that’s still a thing.
I think MS is making money elsewhere so they don't need browser market share but they do need to provide a browser.
The actual shutdown blog post is linked from the page:

It would be nice to see a final graph of review times across the entire span the data was tracked. Luckily there's Archive.org to fulfill that curiosity in some way. Here's 2018:

Well, the majority of Android smartphones are by Chinese brands. The exception being Samsung.

Things can change very quickly in that industry.

Google may not be as secure as some believe they are.
And a lot of stupidly optimized-for-chrome sites break in it. Plus extensibility is limited.
I would recommend the same, although I can imagine it might not properly support the latest Pixel 3A yet.
For someone who has no idea what most of this means is there some place to get started understanding this stuff ?
I'm not saying they "don't know".
Maybe you'll prefer the Windows version:

The article forgot to mention the important fact that it's written in Rust!
Did you get it to work? It just hung after an uncaught exception for me.

Edit: had to disable 2FA to get it to work.
Also for about $300 you can buy a used workstation with relatively beefy specs and two 40Gbps fiber cards.
Apple made informal bid to buy Tesla at $240 per share in 2013
Since the technologies are so closely related, it's worth it to also look at the nixos equivalent.

Historical examples of audiences drawn to a work that was “so bad it's good”?
That's a terribly sweeping generalization, and is clearly not everyone's experience (see for example tshanmu's comment a few minutes before yours).

Have you filed a bug report with specifics of the poor behavior you experience, so that Mozilla engineers can potentially investigate the issue?
I wrote Empirical to address issues I had routinely faced in my career.

I spent ten years in quantitative finance, primarily statistical arbitrage and high-frequency trading. I always ran into problems working with time-series data, from fetching the data to expressing the algorithms to watching my backtests fail from a type error after four hours.

As a result, Empirical has statically typed Dataframes and builtin timestamp types. It can infer the types from a file as long as the input source is known at compile-time, such as in a REPL.

Today's release is the very first public beta. There is a ton of work to do still; see the roadmap for further details:

https://github.com/empirical-soft/empirical-lang/issues/1

I have released the source code under the AGPL with the Commons Clause. A proprietary license is available for users who need more commercial-friendly terms.

It was a long journey to get here. I would like to thank everyone who participated in the private beta. And lastly, I would like to thank Y Combinator; I won a Startup School grant last year.
How to Send Mail in the Future with Rails
I was disappointed too
Admittedly not great, but you can complete that join, output it as a table, and then apply formulas as desired if you use Power Query.

Power Query solves many cases where a macro was previously required, but relatively few people are aware of it.
My guess for the worst case scenario is that huawei would develop a new OS from AOSP to completely detach itself from Google.
that would actually work, those who want google can side load it (if the bootlader is unlocked of corse), the otheers will use it as it is.
Lot of people would love that, an android without google. we just might be underestimating that market.

> Instant access to all of digital knowledge, ...

Yup, I agree. Indeed, that's the core goal of my startup, helping people find that stuff -- for a huge fraction of the content, tough to do now.

Sure, but as I mentioned in another response here, eyes are deep into both the design and the construction of the brain. Sooo, super tough to have a better intake channel.

To be fair to DARPA, my guess is that they have no intention of improving on eyes, ears, etc. but just augmenting them. I didn't mention it, but my reaction would be just go ahead and use just eyes and ears but give them, say, a better user interface.
opsin-based approaches for cochlear implants have been talked about for a decade or more by now.

if that’s not a BCI i don’t know what is.
I am using exa now, and was wondering the same thing. Could you explain why you made the decision? what's the difference?
It's a tough question, and I think depends a lot on what you're looking for.

For the specific case of work ethic in the sense of committing deeply to projects you believe in, then I'd point you towards "The Soul of a New Machine".

But I'm sure others see it completely different.
It also makes hardware offloads like TSO and LRO impossible, and increases cost-per-byte served by a factor of 4 or more. So if you have infinite CPU to throw at QUIC and/or low bandwidth or connection targets, its great. If you are concerned at all about server-side efficiency, its terrible.

FWIW, I work on the Netflix CDN, and specialize in server-side efficiency; we have had 100G flash CDN nodes for years serving at 90G+ in production. None of that would be possible with QUIC as it stands. I suspect our max B/W on these machines would drop from ~95Gb/s to 20Gb/s or less if we were to switch to QUIC.
Freedom from what?

How does web indexing help the end user?

Sharing what?

How do you imagine that a cached webpage is more private than a locally running compiled app?
I think the really damning bit is:

> According to Frau-Meigs, independent funding for academics as well as journalists is extremely important. “Google and Facebook are paying these partnerships from their direct marketing arm, not through more neutral foundations,” she says.

This seems to be implying that Facebook and Google are paying these partnerships partly or mainly to coopt the researchers in order to avoid public relations or regulatory issues.
I don't believe typical developers use "plain POSIX environments," whatever that's supposed to mean.
He edited his comment.
Totally agree with you. The usage of smartphone style UI for central console or even the instrument cluster itself are a really dangerous practice.
The driver should be able to reach out with one hand and made the change immediately, not swiping to the correct context a few times before making the change. /rant off.
> That is, have an axiom that states that an infinte set exists.

Type theories do have that axiom. It takes the form of the axiom that postulates the existence of inductive types of the kind you've shown.
I do not care what happens in the US. I am not in the US. I am not a US citizen. But I am affected by the decisions of what I consider an adversary, that is removing me the option of buying a perfectly functioning product.

I understand why this is happening. I understand the motivations.

What I am saying is that we outside the US should plan accordingly, and reduce our dependency to US technology.

I welcome this event, since I consider it a wake up call. I am convinced the Chinese will lead in making the technology stack a free market again.
I fully admit to my comment being wishful thinking.

Maybe if everything you use is a web-app that makes sense, but I avoid that like the plague. Maybe in the wonderful world of Silicon Valley you can rely on that, but in the real world internet connectivity can be choppy, especially when inside trains and planes.
The annoying part is that UX design for these use cases is well known. It's old boring stuff but Tesla (and other OEMs, but none of them have as much of a need for good touchscreen UX as Tesla) just won't implement it for whatever reason.
I see what you mean and obviously I agree that something changed.

I still think a better explanation is that the country became more conservative when it came to economic policy because it wasn't just the attitudes around the estate tax that changed but rather the entire approach to economic policy. Things like wage and price controls, high income tax rates, and protectionist policies were a thing in the 70s, but became unpalatable in the 80s and 90s.
If I had any faith in the people implementing the software and the people funding the venture, then sure. I would love to live in the bright cheery science fiction future. But at this point I expect anyone with the money to make a proper implementation of the idea will happily and intentionally create something downright abusive and exploitative to the so-called "user". Anyone with the love to make something that would actually genuinely improve the human experience will be relegated to contributing to a half built janky implementation that has to reverse engineer the chip drivers. I would feel lucky to live in the future where you can actually own the chip in your head AND turn off thought analytics.
Seems to me that Google is increasingly vulnerable to a class-action suit over this.
It was shutdown because it isn’t needed anymore. The review times are usually short and the quality of crowdsourced data is lower because of this.

That is assuming Optane is the only Persistent Memory solution. Micron, Samsung, all have something similar ( whether it is by technological design or function ) in the work.

Optane used to be very attractive when it promised all the performance at cheaper than DRAM price. But now DRAM price has sunk, and we will have to see whether 2nd gen Optane will deliver what Intel promised.
10.3 or 10.4, IIRC.
If they really want to soften regulation they should be upfront about it and stop censoring themselves voices they don't like. They have to decide whether they are publishers and have responsibility for everything written in their website or they are a platform and therefore should not ban people the same way a telephone company can't ban people from their service. The thing is, they want it both ways so they themselves can decide what voices are heard and what is silenced. In that case it will be better if the government decide because for them at least I can vote if I don't like who and what they ban.

Millennials are affecting the price of your home
>But consumers won't pay more than $5 per smashed widget, so there is no way you can charge enough to pay for that labor.

Yeah except the worker already gets paid $18 at his current company. Producing $5 worth of goods with $20 worth of labor is economically impossible. Someone has to eat that loss. Either it's the company, the customer or the worker and as far as we know the customer always picks the cheapest stuff regardless of how sustainable it is and the company will always yield to the customer. The worker will always receive the short end of the stick.

Ok lets assume the worker accepts the $5 job. Previously he could afford buying lunch for $18 but now he desperately needs super cheap $5 lunch because his job doesn't pay as well anymore. The restaurant cook can't be paid $18 per lunch anymore because the worker switched to fast food. The cook now has to work at a fast food place and only gets $5 too.

This scenario is called deflation. Prices go down and with them worker compensation starts shrinking and through lower compensation prices must go down too. It's a vicious cycle with awful consequences for workers. Meanwhile investors benefit because their investments appreciate without doing anything at all.

What if the opposite scenario happens? What if the worker wins and get his pay increase? Well exactly the opposite happens. The worker will spend the extra $2 per widget on better lunch. The cook will now receive $20 for his lunch and use it to buy more expensive widgets.

Obviously this is inflation. Some inflation is good. Excessive inflation is just as harmful as deflation.

So what we need is a healthy balance between inflation and deflation.
I thought it was clear in my original comment that it would require more than one developer before - one for the BI process and at least one for the data-entry component. Given that most BI teams don't have a web developer, that also spreads the process over multiple teams, which can slow down maintenence. And I'm not sure why you think it'd take a whole other developer to manage this tool. BI developers are used to picking up new tools and languages (my BI job requires that I know how to use SQL, python, MDX, and C#, and numerous third-party applications).

And when I'm referring to "old timers", I'm referring to users, not the developers. Why would a user need to understand that snippet? Are we even talking about the same thing?
Great way to train your Chinese competition.
In my case our SSO requires a FIDO U2F hardware token and Safari doesn't support FIDO U2F at all. Someone wrote a third party extension but I can't get that working.

Implementing a Reader view is hard, I guess. It looks like it's almost impossible to write a program to be able to do it in a generic way for all existing websites. If one day I find a trick to do so, I'll implement it.

By the way, did you try the "Save selection" feature (cf. the contextual menu)? It allows you to save only the selected part of the webpage. With Firefox, you can even select multiple parts of the page by holding the Ctrl key while selecting contents.

I'd expect the top decile number to be heavily driven by public companies, though. Especially with the recent IPOs, you're now looking at Google, Apple, Facebook, Lyft, Uber, etc all of which pay a huge portion of their comp in stock.
It could be in part because the default settings don't let you see the persistent levels of turbulence throughout the entire grid. Set the density to .996 and velocity to 1 and vorticity high and you'll see just how crazy it can get.
So I don't think we have answer yet
as to why you wouldn't use USB.

The short answer is "USB has a widely known bad reputation"

How did that bad reputation arise? A combination of factors:

* USB 2.0

* Platforms like Raspberry Pi, where both disk and ethernet are on the same USB link.

* Sellers marketing products with the USB link bitrate (5 Gbit/s) rather than the rate of data transfer from the ideal disk.

* Embedded platforms that don't have the performance needed to saturate a gigabit ethernet link (or 5 gigabit USB 3 link)

* Articles like this, reporting "60-113mbps" without going into enough detail to determine which components are the limiting factors on performance.
This is a rational analysis of the game theory with both parties being rational actors, that is not always the case.

Imagine a situation where the employee hates the manager and just wants to screw them over for a past issue, being passed over for a promotion or whatever, and the employee is going through some life patches. The employee has a one on one with their employer privately to solve an issue and then following this meeting, turns around and sued the company and the manager with sexual harassment.

If you do not think there are vindictive employees, then your statement works, however, they exist. So, if you are innocent and accused, the risk FAR outweighs the mentor ship rewards; losing your job, being blackballed, loss of trust from your significant other, etc. vs. providing guidance.
Meritocracy is a spoken value, but it's never been a reality. I'm sure that's true in every country.

In fact, upward mobility is much better in places like France and the UK[1].

Most people like me, who pay attention to history and current social issues, see the American dream and the myth of meritocracy as a way to keep the poor from seeing that the system is rigged against them and becoming restless.

> it's only because SysV init had so few features and so the actual patch had to go to one of many different upstreams

Yes.

Yet systemd is unfixable. The fact that it does too much was the most popular complaint at the time it got pushed into every distro... while I disagree, my main concern is that it's unmaintainable.
You get so many scans, failed logins that you can never press charges against them all.
