This could be a really great thing in the long run. I'm really hoping this will promote open hardware and software in the future. Huawei is most likely to start relying on open source tech, since they're under so much scrutiny that's the best way to show they're being above board. Using open software and hardware would also show that same thing couldn't happen with their stack in the future. If they're smart, they'll partner up with some companies in EU to make it an international effort.

US is basically terrified of losing control of mobile networks when 5G ends up being implemented by a Chinese company. They're also clearly doing the exact thing they're accusing China of themselves here. I think that this is going to backfire spectacularly in the long run.
If CLRS is an example of sonething that has direct real world application, then the other must be truly arcane and esoteric. My hatred for CLRS mostly stems from a completely terrible algorithms class I took which used it, ignored anything that might be useful, and focused 110% on proof-writing. For all the random crap that is covered in excruciating detail, there are some weird gaps where some things that are actually used in industry and have long been, don't get passing mention...

But Corman himself is also kind of a pretentious tool, so that doesn't help - he was certainly an abysmal freshman advisor.

When I went to China I expected problems so I setup my laptop with an SSL tunnel on port 443 to a virtual server and then routed openvpn over that. It worked like a charm. My favorite feature of openvpn is it can maintain state, so even if the tunnel resets and openvpn has to reconnect all the tcp connections just pick up where they left off.

I think they meant the more classic IP in the sense of "extremely sensitive information" like design decisions and product design information and definitely customer/vendor lists getting misappropriated. I've seen firsthand reports of casual breaking and entering to see installation designs followed up with "that person was not authorized to be there and been terminated" which isn't really the point. [Edit: Not talking about Huawei, other Chinese companies.]

And we all have heard of the many reports of counterfeit goods being basically scavenged from the same assembly lines as the original products. And also seen people try to cut out their business partner and go to their vendors directly, often directly in conflict with their NDAs, because they can save money by going upstream. I can't blame them for the intent, but it's unethical to do so if you promise not to.

These are easy to distinguish from patents. Patents suck for almost everyone, and only have gotten worse now that it's not even clear that I can create something and publish it to the public and actually rely on no one filing patents later down the road for stuff in my public disclosure.

This used to be my strategy with LED lights, I'd just release the schematics, board files, firmware, concepts, etc on my blog and send it to various popular news sites because I'm not interested in getting patents for my stuff (including, it seems, the world's first direct wifi LED color changing lights in 2010, two years earlier than LiFX, but I haven't researched in depth). I just don't want Philips patenting the idea and suing me for doing it later (they did anyway I'm sure).

Getting your companies 10 years of work to develop something commandeered by government fiat, espionage, or corporate malfeasance is very different and I think hurts innovation. Why bother if you know as soon as they copy you you won't be able to compete anymore because you've already spent $100M to develop it and have R&D to pay back.

Wingsuit flyers BASE jump into a plane in mid-air. – A Door In The Sky
Hopefully not too off topic: I am in the USA and I have always wondered how long we could hold on to having the world’s reserve currency. I have to wonder if even some of our close allies take pause in my government’s ability to economically attack commercial competitors like Huawei, and in the past the ‘axis of evil’ oil producing countries that had announced their willingness to sell oil in currencies other than the US dollar.

I am concerned this is going to eventually backfire on us.

The failure is that we let Huawei out-invest us (as in Western telecoms network equipment firms, Ericsson, Nokia, Alcatel, Lucent, Nortel, Siemens) 2 to 1 in R&D for the last 20 years. That's because Ren Zhengfei is a visionary who was prescient enough to understand the value of R&D in gaining an edge while also ruthless enough to use industrial espionage in the short term to catch up.

The current situation was completely predictable, but industrial policy has a bad name in rentier capitalist circles that dominate our policy apparatus.

A lot of people seems to complain about the wording. I understand the analogy doesn't cover 100% of the issue but unless somebody finds a better one this is the best we have. Good enough so that stakeholders do sometimes allow us to take care of it. Yes probably not all the time, and not enough, that's why we need to get better at communicating about it. In a corporate environment, communications skill are as important as technical skills, and we should seek to improve both.
I agree with the other commenter that this is a great step forward, but it still doesn't solve the problem of academics being incentivized to publish in the most prestigious journal possible. Magazines like SURE are by design, not going to be nearly as prestigious as others which publish more "sexy" results.

It would be far better if the most prestigious journals pre-committed to publishing studies based on their methodology and hypothesis, before seeing their results.

Europe isn't really a monoculture or a set of monocultures either. Over it's entire history, cultures have mixed and seperated all the time. I don't think the "melting pot of cultures" is any different here than in the US other than the US has less history with it.

There is one critical difference between America and China here. American companies have for the most part not been engaging in wholesale state sponsored theft of Chinese IP. Whatever you may think of the wisdom of a trade war, no one can really argue that China hasn't given the US all the ammunition it needed to give political cover to engaged in one.
Of course they'll be selling plenty to the rest of the world.

It will be beneficial since it will give third countries a choice and help reduce their reliance on the US/monopolistic incumbents.

Trump's game really is to hurt China so that they don't become "number one on his watch" (his words). It's a good old power struggle behind the rhetoric of "fair trading environment".
Nice, I never thought there's such a problem to begin with, but it makes sense.

I really wish Go had learned a lesson from Java: programmers will eventually want generics, and adding generics to a language that was not designed for them leads to new and unexpected obstacles.

The lack of generics makes Go uniquely unsuitable for functional programming, an unfortunate outcome when functional programming is the New Cool Thing.
> It would effectively create a new language and in turn to a new ecosystem.

And that new language would be Go++ (i.e. Go with generics) and what would be wrong with that?

Consider how C++ started.

It was nothing more than a preprocessor extension to the C language called C with classes.

There is nothing stopping that Go++ turning into the Go equivalent of C++.

So back to the previous OPs question, what's stopping someone from forking it?

Out of the fun bag, sleep deprivation and loud active music work really well for me. They've been my main coping mechanisms for the past 15 or so years (loud music didn't feel cognitively impairing, though in retrospect I recognize it may have been - but it paid it back with interest in the elevated energy levels).

> There's also bag of make-it-hards, including time constraint

Or artificial commitments, aka. making it hurt to miss the deadline, usually by committing to pay someone money (there are services like Beeminder that handle this for you). I hate that one and it almost made me broke (it was around the same time I had to use the Ballmer Peak method to finally move forward). It works for some people, but it doesn't work for me; it only ends up triggering huge, debilitating anxiety attacks.

> also bag of do-it-rights, like discussing how you feel with your stakeholders or partners

AKA. career or social suicide. Nah, not risking that. There's too good a chance that your boss never had that problem, and way too likely your replacement won't have it either.

Could you elaborate on that one? Wrt. exercise, nah, I procrastinate too much on that :/.

> Huawei is most likely to start relying on open source tech

If only. So far they've been very much the opposite, even in comparison to other CN companies! Which is one key reason why this whole kerfuffle is going to be so much of a problem for them. In theory, they would have plenty to gain by retooling towards open solutions - but everything so far implies that they won't!

Less than 3% of Tor traffic is to onion services of any kind (which means 97% is to websites already accessible on the public internet), and the most popular onion service on the internet by a large margin is Facebook's (facebookcorewwwi.onion).

Do bad people do bad things using Tor? Yes. Do political dissidents in oppressive regimes use Tor? Yes.

However the vast majority of people are just ordinary citizens using Tor to access the internet -- the cross-section of Tor users is the same as the cross-section of ordinary internet users.

Everyone knows they prepared for it. But they also getting in tons of debt to create content with only one stream of income - subscriptions.

Disney+ and Hulu are just an additional income stream for Disney. They have so many ways to make money off of content and don’t need to get in debt to do it.

- broadcast TV

- cable TV

- physical sells of media

-National/international theatric releases.

- Rental/purchase video on demand

Sure Disney+ may “lose money” for the first five years, but how much of that “loss” is paying other units of Disney for content?

Recent decades of history show your last condition is not true, wages do not keep up.
Sorry, I wasn't clear.

It wasn't quite like that. It was to help the pharmaceuticals work together to "pool" talented researchers who had the required training to proceed in the clinical trials. If a bunch of companies don't share this data, they drive up their costs tremendously in trying to find and recruit qualified doctors for their trials, pay to train them, and then have them conduct studies, only to find out that the doctor in question doesn't recruit any candidates themselves, or fails to report results.

If, however, they pool their resources, they can find qualified doctors who have already taken the training and are known to participate well in trials. They can then correlate that with populations who might benefit from the drugs in question and save a fortune (and possibly many lives), by reducing the cost-to-market.

The matching algorithm was actually very strong, but there was still a human step, from the pharmaceutical companies, to verify that these were the researchers they were seeking.

> The whole point of generics is that the language makes available some form of abstraction over types. Go does not have this feature.

Go absolutely has this feature. Just not for you as a user of the language.

> It has some built-in operators that can operate on multiple types.

Go has multiple builtin functions which abstract over type parameters e.g. close() can operate on any chan, append() or copy() can operate on any slice. They are not operators (symbolic or keyword).

> Most languages have this. The arithmetic operators in C, for example, can take operands of many different types. This is not "generics".

It's overloading, +(int, int) and +(double, double) are separate functions under the same symbol. It's an orthogonal feature, so much so that there are plenty of languages which do have userland generics and don't have overloading.

> This can't really be the right explanation given that generics are now being added to the language.

The core team has been saying they're considering the feature / issue pretty much since the language was first released. You'll have to excuse me if I don't hold my breath.
This is creationist claptrap.

"Darwinism" in modern use is almost only used by creationists, instead of the correct term "evolution".

It's absolutely true that Darwin was a racist, though for his era and background he was relatively "woke". See https://freethoughtblogs.com/pharyngula/2007/03/22/was-darwi... for an example of an anti-creationist listing some of the ways that we can judge his level of racism.

(Note specifically 'Darwin noted the inherent injustice of slavery. Darwin argued it was racist and unjust, and therefore unholy. FitzRoy loudly argued slavery was justified, and racism was justified, by the scriptures.' Can Christianity ever separate itself from racism? But that would be both-sideism.)

Asserting that evolution requires saying that some are "subhuman" is emphatically not true. It's not hard to demonstrate. The example given is that 'Homo erectus pekinensis' is called "subhuman".

A quick check in Google Scholar shows that, yes, indeed, papers up to the mid-20th century used that term in combination with Homo erectus pekinensis. However, of the 1000+ publications containing "Homo erectus pekinensis" only a handful also contain "subhuman", and the ones I could read were always quoting the older literature.

If it were "impossible to separate", why does it appear to have separated?

> The word “creationism” is used unfairly as a cudgel against proponents of intelligent design.

As a reminder, this association was also affirmed by the US court system in Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School District. Among other things, it was demonstrated that the intelligent design textbook "Of Pandas and People" was written by taking a creationist textbook and replacing "creationism" with "intelligent design", "creationist" with "intelligent design proponent", etc.

It's therefore more correct to say the term is being used fairly as a cudgel.

Or, that "Darwinism" is used unfairly as a cudgel for modern evolution.
