I don't get why you're being downvoted. China just needs a Deng Xiaoping moment for software. If they try top-down control, even with all the Chinese brands behind it, it will still founder behind Android.

But if they relinquish some control for the sake of getting a competitive OS where they can't be cut off, what you're saying is true. I do see them capable making an OS, technically, I'm more worried about their worldwide soft skills/soft power. Which I'm guessing they'd also want to improve, so you never know.
What they could beat is across oceans. Say NYC to Shanghai or London.

Be a traveler, not a tourist!

When you do it it's "tourism" when I do it it's "travelling". When you're visiting a place for a shorter period of time primarily for leisure, you're a tourist. Sure you can tourist in more or less intrusive ways, but just accept the label and move on.

the Ramones could no longer rent an apartment in Brooklyn. Struggling painters could most certainly not afford to live in Paris these days...

None of which has anything to do with tourism.

Batux – Using a UX process to redesign Batman's classic outfit
Trump's used the nuclear option, which may well work in the short term but in the long term this has shown China and others that they have to get rid of their reliance on US tech and companies as a matter of national security.

Indeed. Trump's heavy-handed approach in recent weeks seems likely to have far-reaching implications, and presumably the results won't be favourable for Western businesses hoping to expand more into fast-growing Asian markets in the years ahead. He's shown that any business with strong connections to the US can't be relied upon to be an economically rational trading partner, because the US is now demonstrably willing to conflate national security issues with trade policy.

That policy is also putting US allies in awkward positions. Here in the UK, we are faced with questionable demands from a long-time ally (the US) and thinly veiled threats from a big investor (China) if we comply with those demands. Presumably other allies such as Australia feel similar opposing pressures. The only rational long-term strategy I can see for nations in this position is to be clear that they will always make their own strategic decisions on security matters and which global suppliers to use for national infrastructure projects (and then to actually do so, throwing a proverbial elbow at the US if necessary). At least that way you maintain some credibility with future governments around the world as a reasonable partner.

In the meantime, it seems that the current hostile stance toward China from the Trump administration in the US is hurting the global economy, and ironically it also seems like US consumers are the ones ultimately paying most of the cost of those trade barriers.
I have a Spotify subscription but still download music because I prefer owning a library instead of just renting it. However, pirating is becoming harder and harder. Because of Spotify and other service participaton in piracy has declined substantially. File hosting is almost gone, all I see is dead links.

The article links to an interesting view on how even AOSP is a no-go for Huawei: https://www.xda-developers.com/analysis-huawei-aosp-google-b...

What I find interesting is that Apache Licensed software can be relicensed even in proprietary form (as long as you make it a derivative work, with your derivative bits with a proprietary license), thus the easy way out seems to be to have a non-US entity make a proprietary fork of AOSP. I do not see a legal reason why this company would not be able to sell AOSP to Huawei under these conditions.

I am sure plenty of us remember the days when free and open source encryption software was distributed exclusively through non-US servers due to US export restrictions.

IANAL, so I wonder if I am missing something?

As for alternative platforms, I imagine plenty are US based/originating (QNX, webOS from Palm/HP originally, Android), but there are alternatives like Jolla and Ubuntu Touch which aren't.

While I dislike Huawei since they decided to stop sharing unlock codes for their phones, Huawei has one killer app that's not very much reliant on Android: camera.

Getting that camera app on one of the less known platforms and enabling Huawei phones for them would still make them appealing to a large number of customers in eg. Europe.
But why is everyone silently accepting that?

Also google, are they so bowed down to the government, that they just accept this, or do they know more reasons to declare Huawei a enemy?

First one, not treated as a crime. But there is a record, so that sucks.

Second one, leaving your 9 year old at a park all day while you are not there. I can see why that is a problem.

The third one is maybe where the is controversy. It would be nice if a 6 year old could play on the street by themselves. I think there is some discretion here and it depends what your street and suburb is like to some extent.

The last one is tragic and totally unfair to the family. Looks like another nail in the coffin for people without a lot of money in the US (who can't call a babysitter on short notice) and who use common sense. Then they get a criminal record, lose their jobs etc, can't get a new one etc. F'd.

If they have solved the engineering issues (and with this hot spotlight one would hope that is the case) this should end up being a bump in their long history.

A "bump" consisting of mass murder for corporate greed.

I would have given them the benefit of the doubt ater the Lion Air crash. Bad engineering, shortcuts, rottent decision making. But all those things happen.

But that they didn't volountarily grounded the fleet then and there despite the fact that they had to know what was going on and thus sending another ~150 people to their certain death makes their behaviour totally unexcusable.

Their lying, deflecting, obfuscating, smearing dead pilots and just about blaming everybody except themselves doesn't really help.

Some bump in their history, I dare say.

“Consumers are attached to the Google products and services that sit on top of the operating system,”

I doubt that. Google is pretty bad at keeping users. (Probably GMail is the strongest anchor point, but as we have seen with the G+ real name gotcha, it's better to be prepared to stop using that. Though of course most GMail users are not prepared for that.) Users will use whatever is the default.

Probably the YouTube app is what users would miss the most. And I don't know whether it works without Play Services. But it certainly works on iOS, so if there were a new platform, Google/Alphabet/YT would make apps for that platform too.
> When you leave trash in a mountain, you leave it upstream from other places. At some point it is going to taint streams and/or go down. There are people leaving downstream who are going to have to leave with the consequences of that trash.

This is a stronger argument as to mountains that are low enough to experience snowmelt.
Powerlifting is probably the most dangerous weight lifting discipline, because of the bench press[1]. Almost all of these are due to lifting alone, without a spotter, and without proper safety mechanisms (like a rack with crossbars).

Sub Zero F is seriously cold! But for most climates there is some advantage. 40F is pretty cold. Take somewhere not particularly hot like London - most of the year it will be warmer than that.

Although in the UK most people use gas to heat their homes, because its cheaper. I worked out once that gas and heat pumps cost the same in the end for the amount of energy. Although what I love about heat pumps is how quick they get a place warm compared to radiators.

Granted heat pumps need installation, or you can probably run a tube out the window with one of those adapters.

It's a silly hypothetical discussion, because for the price of this mainframe you could get a heat pump and a set of solar panels and a battery storage, and have some money left over for some Hawaiian shirts to wear once you've heated the place up.

For financial efficiency (environment be damned) a set of crypto miners would be better than either the mainframe or the heat pump.

> Isn't rape usually considered a violent crime by default?

The answer to that question is a bit complex and involve a bit of language barrier and differences in the way the law is organized.

Rape is not a specific crime, but a heading in the legal text and a category. As such you have "lesser rape" being defined by one set of circumstances, "rape" with other circumstances, and "serious rape" for a third set of circumstances.

Initiating sex with someone who is sleeping belongs to the first set of circumstances, i.e. lesser rape, and hold a maximum punishment of 4 years and minimum of 6 months.

As for the expected punishment in the Assange case we can look at a predicate where a accused inserted a finger while a woman was sleeping after a party and stopped when she woke up. The punishment was 10 months.

This is the crucial part. If the transport depends essentially on petrol, why care about the plastic? Plastic comes from petrol and is first used as a container, then to produce heat when burning it. If single-use container helps improve the logistics, then I don't think it is the main issue.

I remember reading about an explanation about the sub-packaging of biscuits. Consumers would complain that a pack of biscuits contained multiple packs of biscuits itself. But it all made sense when accounting for the fact that biscuits go stale, and producing them takes more energy than storing them in smaller packages inside the main package.

This all assumes a correct treatment of plastic containers. But my point is that the main issue lies with logistics, that produces lots of CO2, rather than with containers.

> You can. I can. My mother and 95% (99? 99.9?) of the android users cannot.

My mom is quick to install shitload of stuff on her phone that would be much harder for me to do (I once tried shutting down Facebook group notifications on her phone and gave up after manually going through a 100 or so ;)). She will gladly follow a tutorial on the web, download apks from unsafe sources, allow all permissions the app asks for etc.

I, on the other hand, would look for a trusted source which would be much harder to find, would be weary of giving my credentials to any app, and would be even more weary of giving permissions that I do not find strictly necessary to an app that's coming on my phone.

Latvia does not have the same standard of living as the others in the list. And still, 3.5 tonnes per capita is still 25 billion tonnes globally, and at that level, this planet is still super fucked. There are literally 300 million people in India who do not yet have electricity. Flip that over; if those 300 million people develop to European living standards in say, 100 years, we are well and truly screwed. You can just forget about it when you think about China, Indonesia, Bagladesh, and Africa.

I don't fully agree that a h.264 system is extremely hard to implement, because it has some nice properties:

- once you have a reference implementation, you can have exact input/output pairs, which makes development easy, especially if the reference implementation exposes intermediate results.

- because of the previous point, testing is easy.

- even if you don't have a reference implementation, you can start by building a slow version of an encoder/decoder, generate testing data (intermediate outputs), and step by step optimize the system, while ensuring the system produces the same outputs at every step.
> MDMA, better known as the recreational drug “ecstasy,”

> clubgoers and college students primarily know MDMA as “ecstasy”

Not exactly. "Ecstasy" is usually the name of pills that have MDMA as a main ingridient, but also often contain MDA, amphetamine, methamphetamine, mephedrone and other similar drugs.

If you consider consuming MDMA, always search the pure crystal MDMA if you can, by the way. It's usually these other ingredients (mixed in to "push through" a user's tolerance level) that are responsible for the worst of adverse effects and neurotoxicity.
