I don’t think reducing compensation for future employees through reduced pensions shores up retirement for current employees or pensioners. For that you have to raise taxes a lot, I think. My suggestion was to prevent even worse problems in the future.

I think the current folks are hosed because raising taxes on the middle and working class along with rich people is unpopular so I don’t think elected officials will want to do that. So they will probably chug along and then go bankrupt, hosing pensioners.
I’m kind of surprised by the response here. For one thing this helps European telecoms suppliers. On top of this there is this weird expectation that the way things have been is good and should continue. I don’t see this justified. Huawei exists in large part because of the history of the US opening it’s markets to China which helped the Chinese economy grow immensely (not to mention copying Cisco).

I’m not going to defend the US on everything but it has its own interests and nobody should be surprised over the coming decades if it starts closing off its market and withdrawing its guarantees on securing other countries trade.

Europe has had a lot of time to grow up and should at this point realize this probable future and decide what such a future means for it, and decide how it wants to present itself in such a world.
That sounds very much like functional programming styles, where decisions are made by "pure functions" and actions are taken by "interpreters" or "effect handlers". The "ports and adapters" and "functional core, imperative shell" approaches are similar.
My friend, you are not alone. I suspect many programmers suffer from this problem.

My advice is to find some way to serve a local community. (I'm just finishing up coaching a youth soccer team.) Nothing makes you feel better than helping others.

Sure, I think huge student loans are bad for society, I was just wondering what your reasoning was, and I'm obnoxious enough to prod you to make the case that a $30,000 obligation is materially different.
I'm sure you know what the 5th Amendment means to our culture and thinking without having read the whole constitution. In fact it's an amendment, the actual meat of the constitution is largely unknown to most of the population and mostly irrelevant to most of our culture. (If you are not American, sorry)

So read the most relevant OT books and get on with it! Genesis, Exodus, Duteronomoy, Ruth, a little of the major prophets, Job, Proverbs 8, Psalm 22,23,91 I think? I'm probably missing a lot but seriously it's not needed if you want to understand NT context. I mean the rabbinical culture that Jesus was dealing with in the Gospels was based on a side-conversation the Jews were having about the Torah, not even about the Torah itself. So you'd have to read the Mishnah as well if you really wanted the full context.

I think it's safe to say that analyzing any historical work requires a bit of back referencing. I believe I watched Spaceballs before watching Star Wars, and I think I enjoyed Star Wars more because of it. Can't say for sure, it was a long time ago.
Really, German government even failed to see any security threat in Kaspersky Antivirus on computers of public servicemen, and it is literally a backdoor for the Russian secret services.

I just want to point out how ridiculous it is to think that AWS > Selling stuff out of a warehouse in terms of revenue.

Amazon does about $30B a year in selling goods, and about $7B a year in AWS.

AWS does deliver higher profit margins and more operating income than the tiny margins on selling and shipping goods, so perhaps that's what you meant to say.
The feds went through this back in the 80s when they switched from CSRA to FERS+thrift (basically a 401k). I think that helped but didn’t completely solve the problem. But at least they are more solvent than Chicago.

I don't find the author is siding with China, I find he's playing fair.

Everything (?) the US accuses China, the EU could accuse the US of as well.

I'm guessing it's for historical reasons things are the way they are now, and because of economic inertia that this has yet to change.

I don't want to be pro-China nor pro-US. But I see two people wanting to sell me something, and one of them is trying to stop me from buying the better product.
Ask HN: App or service for linkable, “watch-later” video messages/screenshares?
There are plenty of options for making conference or video calls with a number of people. As someone who works remotely in a different timezone to others, I find myself regularly having to write long explanations of issues or features I'm developing to get feedback later in the day.

Ideally, I would love to be able to quickly and easily create a screenshare/video/mic recording of me explaining myself instead, that then gets automatically uploaded to a shareable link for the other person to consume later in the day.

Of course, I _could_ just record with Camtasia and upload to Dropbox or something but I'm wondering if there is a streamlined service that offers something like this?
I don’t doubt that you would, like majority of people in the anglo-euro-sphere, because USA gives us Hollywood with an endless stream of sexy and explosive propaganda, and they dominate the mainstream narrative.

But it is naive to trust them, or anyone for that matter, don’t forget that USA has been in war throughout its existence, not just that, its whole existence is a by product of colonialism; but we don’t have to go that far, USA happily did business with Nazis and today they’re happily doing business with Israel, disregarding the injustices against Jews in the first instance, and Palestinians today.

You can’t make friends with monsters.

Huawei p30 leads Apple on camera quality by far. It has premium build quality and battery life.

In market share they lead Apple in China, and they ship more units.

Our successful societies originated in a state of constant (public) surveillance. When you do something in public in small town USA, people see you and that information ripples through the informal social networks. Historically, institutions like churches and schools facilitated exchange of that information. Those things breakdown when you have Chinese cities with millions of people, most of whom just moved there from somewhere else not that long ago.

It’s not just a problem in China, either. If you drive to DC from Annapolis, you’ll see car after car violating the HOV restriction on US 50. Like 80% of vehicles in the HOV lane are single occupant. How do you solve that? Or people blocking the box in DC? Or people taking lefts from K Street during rush hour, when they are prohibited? There is a cost to all that—it slows things down for everyone and undermines deliberate traffic planning. I’d support, for example, cameras that automatically ticket violators.
Of course it's recoverable. If you're under 35 you can join the miliary as well. There are options. Not glamorous, but survivable. Better to have tried and failed than to never have tried.

> That's not going to be good enough for Huawei.

The question is rather: given that it is FOSS is it good enough for them to extend the functionality on the short-term?

> Similarly, all of those alternative OSes aren't going to work if they're not binary, and more importantly API compatible with Android + GMS.

KaiOS has some compatibility (by design not fully compatible).

SailfishOS has an Android emulator. Other OSes could also use one such as Anbox.

/e/ and LineageOS are binary and API compatible with Android.

GMS is an issue, but given that Google is under a magnifying glass concerning monopoly position related to Android in EU I have some hope that alternatives for GMS (or FOSS implementations) could happen.
Yes, AOP == Aspect Oriented Programming

Logging systems can usually be enabled by package/namespace, and frequently to the class level. I've used AOP to log out the trace of the code (not just the call stack), but can turn it on or off as needed. Authentication acting strange? Enable those logging aspects and browse the log to see where things are behaving strangely, and it may not be in the stack trace of the exception that gets thrown somewhere else. Logging methods and some arguments is hugely helpful; it's like automatic debugging.

IRCCloud's privacy policy should be of concern:

He said hard, not impossible. You're playing with a higher difficulty level, because you need to spend time and effort and divert your focus on mitigating the worst case scenarios instead, and market timing is one of the big factors in getting it right.

I used Kiwix - I live in London and commute via the tube network. There is patchy wifi at stations but it's not worth using.

So when commuting, kiwix is great. Often I'll be listening to a podcast and want to look up something mentioned offline.

Offline use cases seem to get forgotten. For example, Spotify offline mode is terrible and does not allow you to browse your library of downloaded tracks. Instead, you have to scroll through everything and look for those which are available offline.

You are absolutely right. I can't edit to correct myself. The redefinition of language is more `Orwellian` than the all-spying.

My point is that the spying in 1984 is most of the time seen as being done by Big Brother and its agents against the people but it was quite clear to me when reading it that it was more about everyone keeping an eye on everyone to report to BB, people were doing the watching and there was no escape (I seem to remember there's a line about how they don't know if the camera work but that doesn't matter because you can't prove it and people could be spied on by anyone anyway).

Maybe it's time I pick it up again.
It's not that they seem inapplicable to some domain: they're applicable to a huge number of domains (basically any kind of constraint satisfaction problem). A lot of people thinks that this generality means that solving SAT problems is difficult, but in reality it means that a huge amount of effort has been invested into SAT solvers, which may outweigh the benefits you can get from a specialized solver.

We wouldn't need that much defense if we play out the US and China and Russia against each other.

Apart from that - I had suspected that "security" meant "defense" and I think this is far less important globally, than many would like to believe.

Of course if you're a country that doesn't know how to negotiate and compromise and do politics, all you'd know is military intervention.

I think reducing the TSP to a SAT problem is not a very efficient approach. MIP solvers have become extremely sofisticated (and implement many of the techniques of SAT and much more) and offer a much more powerful modeling paradigm. it's hard to imagine a SAT solver outperforming them on such problems.
My Fairphone had an issue a couple of month where it managed to use a couple of GB in a matter of minutes and drained my data subscription. I still don't know why, but I think it's a genuine bug, and not anyone trying to steal my data.

That said, I would prefer an OS that provably puts my in charge and doesn't allow foreign companies access to everything I've got. Then again, I also like convenience.
Hah. I tried only doing it at the end of a conversation. "Just so we are all clear, this is what we are agreeing to do.", and that still was not enough. Plus, having it written down makes it so much easier to revisit past decisions. I spend a lot of time trying to understand why an old decision was made so we can make changes with confidence.

“In public” is an important part of that sentence. China is attempting, with the direct and indirect assistance of Western firms like Facebook and Google who have experience building deep surveillance systems, to extend that scrutiny into what was previously the private sphere.
I have to try this. Maybe I'll finally get a plant to survive longer than a year in my burrow.
How is this different from using an OS that sends the names of the files you have accessed to a foreign country if you don't use its enterprise version or have misconfigured it? A situation that is true throughout public services and across your entire country's industry.
While studying Comp Sci at University of Toronto in the early 70s, I recall the 360/20 was used as a node to connect suburban colleges (Erindale and Scarborough) to the "mainframe", which was a 360/65 (I believe).

We would iterate from the keypunch room, to the 360/20's card reader, and wait for the mainframe to process our code and transmit the code output to the local printer, for review at tables large enough to page through fan-fold paper, to check and mark-up the code. Back then, we didn't need watches to remind us to stand up and walk around every 30 minutes -- the coding workflow forced us to!

Reading the Principles of Operations for the 360/20, the processor was supported half-word (16 bit), and had no floating point, but support packed decimal numbers. Our machine had 16K.

It was great to see the article -- made me reminisce about the days of me carrying boxes of punch cards and inches of output back and forth to my residence.
I have been with Fi for several years and have never had a problem with customer service. I always call and speak with a rep who is readily available to help.

In the book, "The Next 100 Years: A Forecast for the 21st Century" by George Friedman, the author predicts that China will start to fragment. Although this hasn't been happening probably because of the increase in strict authoritarian rule. Perhaps this trade war will intensify the pressure until some kind of uprising against the authoritarian rule emerges. Besides, China is more keen on keeping economic harmony than fighting a war. History has shown us what happens when its citizens aren't happy time and again.
