It's absolutely true, and while he could have made a mockup showing how it would look for someone with a zip code in eg. Dallas, getting through the bureaucratic hoops to actually get feed back from those who eventually shot it down ... that's just really hard, most places. "We can't show this to customers/users/management, it's not completely done!"

It's a process problem and you can't solve it bottom-up.

You either get used to it and work to the specs, knowing they will change a lot, or you try to get closer to whoever makes the decisions. More often than not, that leads you to another company working on a different problem ...

This was always China's desire, to basically build home grown tech's that could replace the ones they were using from the west. Unless the Chinese government mandates use of a single os (no android) in the domestic market then it won't work, if they do then they still don't have a viable os for the rest of the world because the rest of the world wants google, facebook and other apps which are banned in china. Facebook e.t.c. aren't going to make apps for a primarily domestic only phone where they are legally banned.

The reasons that I had for implementing the paper (things that I loved about the paper):

1. Compared to other structural node embedding techniques it is fast.

2. It was easy to build it on high performance implicit factorization packages (e.g. gensim).

3. The structural features are learned from motifs.

4. Structural properties of neighbors are also included.

5. The paper has some theoretical aesthetics.
>wind up delivering something that could have been done in 10% of the time if people listened to me at the start of the project.

I felt that way until I eventually got to a point where people did listen - and it turned out to be false. I underestimate the effort required on first glance and I oversimplify things in hindsight. Also I'm a developer - not a business guy - I can guess a lot of things on the requirement side but a lot of it is outside of my domain. This is something that I have to be aware of now when I'm in a position to give such estimates.

Don't get me wrong - I think there's a lot of room for improvement in almost everything I worked on before and after me - but that gut feeling of how I could have done things was never on point for me. With the article in question - too many people involved in the decision - no way to know the final result for sure until people see it have a bunch of meetings, see the iterations and decide on this - rarely do you have the person with deciding power know/understand these things clearly from the start. And you need to account for bureaucracy BS time-waste - it's just a fact of life when dealing with such clients.

The gains by US producers will be outweighed by losses to US consumers.

In addition, much of the gain will accrue to a smaller number of business owners, while the losses will be spread across the wider public.

Inevitably, those in control will manipulate the situation to their own advantage.

from the paper

> Animal research suggests that when a neurotoxic dosage of MDMA is given, damage to the axons starts to occur in as little as an hour or two

So when neurotoxic doses are administered, neurotoxicity occurs. Well, call the president, we must do something.

Please read the link I posted above, here again <https://thedea.org/mdma-risks-science-and-statistics-technic... which largely debunks this work, although it does offer situations where it does occur, so you can avoid them.

If you want to talk actual neurotoxic, methamphetamine is to be, and I've seen the effects on a guy I know. But stop putting about FUD about MDMA.

Edit: I re-read the link properly and it's not as bad as I first thought. It mentions that research by Ricaurte was debunked. My link goes into a lot more detail of what happened, read especially the last couple of pages where Ricaurte's research is entertainingly debunked in a letter to Science magazine.

Edit2: from my link, regarding MDMA neurotoxicity: "More than a year later, after scathing criticism from TheDEA.org, the house of cards collapsed when Ricaurte sheepishly admitted that the experiment never really happened: The monkeys had actually been given massive doses of methampetamine, not MDMA! He also admitted that no matter what they had tried, they had been unable to damage monkey’s dopamine systems with real MDMA"
This style is much more in line with what SMBC writes.
I've been becoming less cynic about workplace bosses and their decisions. I'm not really talking from raw workplace experience, but from noticing things I've read. I think a boss order comes from a perspective that is _probably_ right. They have an understanding that a developer _might_ not have yet, their instinct could be accurate, maybe most of the time.

Advice that is likely to work in most European places: know when is the tourist season. Visit famous places when it is not. During the tourist seasons, there are no shortage of very interesting places outside the crowded ones.

Vaux-le-Vicomte, which was the model for Versailles, is virtually unknown and a really nice visit. When crowd traffic jams happen in front of Mona Lisa in the Louvres, the medieval art sections, two stories above, are almost deserted despite very interesting pieces. Everybody wants to see Notre Dame, but there are about 100 monumental cathedrals in France.
Valuing security over freedom, huh? Remimds me of a quote about deserving neither… (Besides, I have a Nexus 5 from six years ago, the updates are still coming…)

Okay, Google's privacy's suck. I'm definitely unhappy about it. But let's not forget Apple's lock down sucks just as hard. I'd even go as far as saying that this exclusive store thing should be forbidden. People should have root rights over their phone, and Apple should be forbidden to prevent them. Instead, people can get in legal trouble from sharing information about jailbreaking.
What a neat story! Thank you for sharing.
It's like the opposite of the "long tail" — I don't know what to call it.

The fact that the top few attractions, events etc attract a disproportionate amount of people.

This immediately reminded me of Yvon Chouinard quote from 180 Degrees South documentary:

"Taking a trip for six months, you get in the rhythm of it. It feels like you can go on forever doing that. Climbing Everest is the ultimate and the opposite of that. Because you get these high-powered plastic surgeons and CEOs, and you know, they pay $80,000 and have Sherpas put the ladders in place and 8,000 feet of fixed ropes and you get to the camp and you don’t even have to lay out your sleeping bag. It’s already laid out with a chocolate mint on the top. The whole purpose of planning something like Everest is to effect some sort of spiritual and physical gain and if you compromise the process, you’re an asshole when you start out and you’re an asshole when you get back.”
This reads like Conway’s Law, a novel. I love it.

The difficulty of scaling quantum computers is that maintaining coherence requires making the noise floor exponentially low, because every qubit has a relationship to every other.

So the quantum equivalent of Moore's law is adding a single qubit every 18 months, which roughly doubles it's speed.
In Norway the Amiga vs ST wars felt quite real. :) The Former was by far the best, except for Midi of course - and as such it raged on. (I had the Vic20, C64, then Amigas).

Going Underground: Graphing and Pathfinding London Tube Lines
It's not qbits themselves that have to shrink, but the support machinery, that measures/cools/traps/shields them. Basically the qbit / area or qbit / volume metrics are the important. Also, dollar / qbit is the relevant factor at the end of the day. (And watt / qbit for operating the whole machine.)
That assumes that the problem is best solved by developing new software - which quite frequently isn't the case!

TLDR:
> Because of the intense jet stream that hovers near Everest’s 29,029-foot summit for much of the year, there are only a few weather windows, often two or three days in late May, when it's optimal for climbers to make a push for the top—forcing many expeditions to all go for it at the same time.

> Apples and encrypted oranges. There's no actual technical difference between EV and DV for the end user, much unlike https vs http...

What does it matter to the end user whether the difference is technical, legal, or procedural? The user just wants to be able to tell the difference between a legit site and a phishing spoof.

> Why does my comment have to be spelled out anyway? I'm having a hard time believing you don't know that or haven't realized it.

The article points out that users and paypal didn't care that their domain wasn't using EV, as if this were a slam-dunk argument against it. But that argument would go through just the same for a domain that wasn't using HTTPS at all.
They need to meet a FCC (?) deadline in order to avoid losing their licenses; probably that functionality wasn't ready in time.

At 15 seconds, in the VP9 version, it looks like smoke is pouring off the top-left metal pipe of the machine. It immediately draws my attention because it's so out of place. But in the H.264 version, the whole image is noisy, so nothing distracts me.
Good point, trust is another issue.

Your mother sounds like she trusts herself to be able to do it, then looks for information (with you hoping she chooses trustworthy people) on how to do it. Most people I know pretty much shut down when they hit something they haven't encountered before, so they won't even search for the error message. Trust out of the way, a more open android is a good option for tech savvy people, but I fear the majority wouldn't be able to work with that.
Not really.
The situation is much more opening the space for OTHER Chinese vendors to jump in and grab the market.
Samsung is already selling in all channels where Huawei is, so they have their shelf-space allocated already.
That slot will not remain vacant.
LG can surely grab a bit more business in short-term for sales-channels they were not selling to, because even if they are not in a specific channel, they have products ready and tested for the market to fill the gap immediately.
TCL/Alcatel has maybe some opportunities in low-price device-tier as well, because they have established relationships with many carriers and retailers.

On the other hand, Oppo, Vivo, OnePlus, Xiaomi are all not sanctioned by US, all of them offer comparable products with a very similar price and aggressively try to expand their international presence.

So I expect mainly a Oppo/Vivo/OnePlus vs. Xiaomi vs. TCL/Alcatel fight for every slot Huawei is at risk to lose...
Chinese brands have huge market share in many countries outside China (e.g. close to 50% in India).

Facebook and others will make apps for them...
Yeah, but would they pay for it?
> Low-orbit satellite broadband potentially breaks this dilemma. ... Starlink and OneWeb could potentially offer a satellite broadband product that is competitive with fixed-line broadband on cost, latency and bandwidth.

But it doesn't, despite the marketing of Starlink as a "broadband" network they simply can't service high population density areas.

So it might be a backbone to a 4G tower and possibly usable by consumers in rural areas, but it won't be installed on the roof of a car nor offer connectivity to individual consumers in urban regions.
I think Windows Phone has shown that "Google/Alphabet/YT would make apps for that platform too" is far from true.
“If the German government thinks that the Hong Kong judiciary is independent, they would not grant me refugee status,”

I just want to point out that refugee status is given on a case by case basis. Even with an independent judiciary, if your laws oppress some people, refugee status can be obtained. Europe has accepted refugees from USA during McCarty's era.

Accepting a refugee from another nation does have diplomatic meaning but is does not automatically mean that they will dismiss each other judgements automatically.
I suggest you count the number of nodes they can support with that many satellites. Stop thinking like an old tech.

Well, principally yes. Or, at least, the US could acknowledge the massive genocide that European settlers have committed in the past, rather than glorifying the "good ol' days" of expansion and slaughtering people and their cattle, and give the indigenous people some real recompensation for the atrocities that have been done to their ancestors.

> This is just a part of that 'negotiation' strategy.

Your explanation doesn't answer the question why Huawei got picked. Huawei products got banned in the US way before the trade war, Huawei's exports to US is pretty small I'd say. It thus has really nothing to do with the existing tariff situation whatsoever.

On the other hand, there are many big Chinese companies exporting to the US in huge sheer volume, Lenovo is probably the best example here, interestingly, Lenovo never got treated in the same way. Why there is such huge difference?

The answer is plain and simple - Huawei managed to lead the 5G development and growing faster than anyone else. US refuses to accept that. Lenovo's business model is what US wants all Chinese companies to follow - focusing on low end craps, make money by working hard not working smart. Same goes to those crappy Chinese companies like Xiaomim OPPO, OnePlus.
That's pretty much how I do tourism: go to a high tourism city/region (where the local culture has already learnt how to deal with it), then ruthlessly demote every popular "must see" to a "might see" and see what else is there. Some "must sees" will still be visited, but in a purely opportunistic manner. Turns out the colosseum isn't a complete waste of time if you randomly passed by at a time when there wasn't any queue at all, but if that does not happen there's no shortage of other things to see.
Are there any rigorous studies proving aluminum adjuvants are safe? Have you ever looked into the research? Am I an “antivaxxer” for even asking this question? Would you consider me one if I told you I’d delved into the topic and concluded something other than what the government says? What if I was just hesitant to give the specific vaccines with aluminum adjuvants to infants?

I find that ysually people that use buzzwords like “antivaxxer” aren’t all that curious about the topic, and prefer to hide behind consensus opinion whilst castigating inquisitive people that look at the evidence themselves as ignorant and crazy.
