True. In the past Israel has been caught spying on the US, and Obama has apologised for spying on Chancellor Merkel. But such spying between friendly nations is not as serious a threat as spying between adversarial nations. The two are not equal. If there is going to be spying anyway, being spied on by a friend is far better than being spied on by your mortal enemy although no spying at all would be preferable.
Once the population boycott a brand or a country the Chinese propaganda and people really do boycott them. Read the news about South Korea and Japan trade wars. The Chinese even tried to burn down a Toyota factory.
At one point I wrote a Common Lisp interface to Z3. The syntax was nice, except that empty lists have to be printed as () rather than NIL. So close to working with no tweaks.

The hardest part is getting the model back at the end (well, and making problems that don't scale too badly with N).
It obviously is. I think it might be something about finding your place in the herd. Like "mammoth killer no. 1" or something like that. These days we might be used to think that our worth is only defined by our work. At least that was my problem.
Sorry, but you give people too much credit. The situation is in fact reversed -- people will only flee from an economic meltdown, until that happens people won't flee.
Only if your economic outlook is vastly positive people accept this form of control and see it as a necessity. There is indeed a danger that people start passively accepting the surveillance, even if the outlook turns in a worse direction.

edit: It also helps that the majority is still lacking education and surveillance is a very real but abstract danger.
I'd prefer neither had it.

Neither can be trusted to retain a glass of water, let alone personally identifying information that can spur advertising campaigns and sway elections in countries around the world.
A poor person not betting on anything is bound to stay poor. Your point is?
I don't quite understand why you're being down-voted here for a very reasonable statement. I suppose that perhaps 'a lot' is a bit hyperbolical, and it is realistically closer to 'a small few'. I had AirPods for a while, but they simply did not fit comfortably in my ears. I bought some Jabra brand wireless headphones, which come with a selection of different sized buds, and I'm very satisfied with them thus far. They don't quite have the "sleek" look that Apple does so well, but the side button functions are excellent and the call quality seems clearer when in noisy areas. I've had a few friends complain about their AirPods just about not fitting, and I always recommend the Jabra's now.
While I agree about our lack of (usable) search engine, I disagree on your second claim. Europe has a strong background in cybersecurity. Kaspersky is Russian (to be fair, not EU), Avast is Czech, ESET is Slovak, AVG was also Czech before bought by Avast. All of them are popular antivirus programs used today.
Honestly while using OnePlus Two I didn't feel it being open at all. In fact I have a very strong suspicion that OnePlus is using OS updates as planned obsolescence.

One day my OnePlus Two installed the system upgrade causing the battery to fully drain in a span of 30 minutes - 2 hours and the phone getting super hot while idle. I tried doing all the recommended steps of fixing the problem (clearing cache, factory resets etc.) without any improvement.

As soon as I installed Lineage OS I started getting a 24+ hr battery life and didn't experience any issues so the issue was not related to hardware.

Why would the government want to stop this?

Most small business in China happens without being taxed. It is fairly trivial to get money into China but harder to get it out of China. From memory, Chinese people can exchange about $10,000 USD per year which is more than the average income here. If you need more than just ask your friend and buy them dinner. (we didn't have enough paperwork to exchange our bonus from RMB to AUD when I left the country. I had two Chinese friends help me since they didn't need any paperwork to exchange money)

The limits are more at a company level than at an individual level.

That being said where would you keep the money as a Chinese national? In the USA where the US government might take it and then throw you in jail when you collect it (Huawei CFO)? Most other countries work with the USA so they are not a lot safer.

The Chinese tax system is mostly "prepaid" so the government gets there tax either way...

This is also exactly what a lot of companies do and you can buy overseas money from these people.
Yeah but so does America lol
started on this project a few months back and have had PRs blocked with stuff like

"in this test file, just use one assertion, don't need to use two"

"there's too many comments here"

"i don't like the extra line breaks in this file"

"bookAdminId needs to be bookAdministratorId"

these are generally comments just on test files.

I've struggled to deal with these because... well... ego is part of it, but when there are bigger structural issues, and the focus is on - imo - minutia (without much acknowledgement that these are, indeed, minor points), it's troubling. To then be told after a few weeks that you're "not delivering" is doubly so. It's hard to take 'ego' out of this altogether, but thanks for reminder.
> So really the discussion is much more like "Does condition X provide a 3 or a 4 percent boost?"

I think it's more like whether it brings a 400% boost. It is definitely an important discussion to have. Whether Twitter is the place is another story.
Isn't that oversimplifying the whole social issue of why people are poor, stay poor or become poor?
Yep.

But we only have a monster in the attic, because we choose to choose one of those two.

I believe that's the point the article is trying to make: That the EU should stand up and be an actual 3rd party and possibly mediate between China and USA. But then the article also concludes that it's not surprising that doesn't happen considering the parties in Europe.
they'll be on Motorways first, there's just so many less edge cases.

Not from what I've seen. Heavy construction, sudden gridlock with huge lane speed differentials, multi-vehicle collisions, road debris, heavy trucks, severe inclement weather, high speeds, gore points; these things combine to make for an extremely challenging and dangerous driving environment.

An autonomous car driving through a residential neighbourhood is moving slowly and can stop if a child chases a basketball onto the road. On the freeway, when you're going over 100km/h, the car simply can't stop if one from the next lane spins out in front of you.
To be fair, the article does explicitly call out that the system won't work for arbitrarily hard or impossible problems. That's addressed in the opening paragraphs, and again called out in step 4.4 of the single-loop.

It really depends where. Eg. among Northern Europeans it affects only about 5% of the population.

I may be mistaken, but the backlash against cow's milk seems to often have an ideological component to it.
Which specific system were your coworkers talking about? One of those run by private financial companies like Alipay or WeChat pay? One of the small-scale experiments run by various municipalities?

I think the answer to this is the same as the answer to the classic interview question, “why are manhole covers round?” With a round hole, a ring of slightly larger diameter (to hold the net in this case) cannot pass through the hole, no matter what angle it gets turned. With any other hole shape (eg rectangular), the “ring” that sits outside the hole to hold the net can be turned such that it can go through the hole.
A $230,000 house on a $60-70k income is giving yourself more wiggle room. At $60k, you could qualify for something closer to a $300,000 house. That’s what most people do—yet the default rate for prime borrowers stayed below 5% even in 2008 (and is around 1-2% typically).

I read the two as "You don't need to be rich to be a founder" and "it's very beneficial to be rich to be a founder".

This would be more analogous to "you don't need to be a man to be strong", rather than "women are stronger than men".

I think PG's concern is if it's understood "you need to be rich to be a founder", then if you're not rich, you think it won't be possible to be a founder.
They're talking past each other. Thing is, they're both right.

Paul seems to be saying you don't have to be rich to do a startup.

Matthew is saying lots of founder have some resources (family home, savings, great education, i.e. middle-class) that made doing a startup feasible

Both these positions are true and aren't incompatible. Being middle class (Matthew's position) and prudent with savings can afford you probably a year of runway.

But I'd never recommend someone who was truly destitute or food insecure to do a startup. If you come from a poor family there will also be family/cultural pressure not to do a startup and instead get a good paying job(assuming you have the ability).
Air Traffic Reschedualing [1]. The algorithm is using hard constraints rather than soley relying on machine learning. I believe that the paper is essentially describing a SAT solver strategy that is used by a machine learning algorithm. The agorithm should also great for employee reschedualing, or any kind of reschedualing where you want to find the nearest solution anytime the last known solution is invalidated by a state change.

The US has just barely started to make some noises with this mini trade war, which I believe will result in some tariffs remaining in place encouraging some of our manufacturing to move from China to central America.
It may help those two firms, but the point isn't to make these two private entities rich it's national (and union) security: Huawei's existing customers - which exist in the US, but particularly in the EU - must now rely on a partner that through government fiat suddenly cannot be a reliable partner anymore.

Also remarkable is how little power has to do anything about it. If they wanted to ensure continued reliability of existing infrastructure and infrastructure investments they can... try to nationlize huwawei's relevant IP? Nationalize Google's relevant IP? Both are extremely far-fetched, not to mention the fact that it's not just a matter of IP - replicating those companies respective skillsets probably isn't even feasible. The executive order could probably be subverted by passing along whatever info/IP huwawei needs since that info is likely also present in places outside of US reach, but that threatens escalation (and it's possible EU leaders don't trust huawei either, so they might not even want to do that, even if they could).

Additionally, the implied suggestion that the EU is somehow better off because there is less competition for EU-headquartered (but not necessarily EU-owned) firms is pretty absurd. Less competition is almost certainly bad for the EU (and the US), regardless of who gets rich, simply becuase there are vastly more and more important users of this network tech than there are sellers. A nepotistic short-term win won't even budge the GDP needle, but reduced innovation in tech might.

However little empathy you might have for Huawei's shareholders, the consequences for their clients at the very least bear pause.
There’s plenty of trade schools that can give careers to those not fortunate to get a sizeable scholarship and who would need to take out unreasonable student loans. For those few I’d recommend getting a career and saving up some money before trying to pay their way through college instead of having their student loan loom over their heads for most of their lives and potentially ruining their credit score with a couple of missed payments.
The vast majority of my bluetooth woes are not with bluetooth, but with the complete lack of configurability on Android and other devices.

I end up pairing/unpairing my home speakers with my phone constantly, not because bluetooth is brittle, but because Android doesn't have options like "remember pairing but don't automatically connect with this device", or, "select audio output", or, "do/dont continue playing audio when this device loses connection". Otherwise, when I turn my headphones on to bike to work in the morning, my phone will be paired with the speakers, and the headphone will connect for calls but not audio.

I don't want linux-like configuration. I don't want to root my phone. But having no control on these thousand dollar devices over the most common tasks we use them for despite billions in R&D and tens of thousands of developers is ludicrous.
Fair point, I stand corrected.

Sadly, that is only true for countries that have a president like Trump. A populist, strong-arm type of politician wouldn't be my first choice but my government in Germany would have folded already. They proposed that people need to use their real names on the internet just a few days ago. Yes, it is that bad and yes, they are old and frightened.
Currently the US has an impact on the world markets. Not just the EU.

While everyone agrees Trump is a buffoon the fact he is leveraging that in an attempt to benefit the US is waking people up to that fact.

Why do you need "a decent wedge of cash" to have a degree?

There are plenty of universities that are affordable. For instance, City University of New York (CUNY) offers four year undergrad degrees for $6,730 a year [0]. You can get a room share in an outer borough for maybe 500 - 1.5k a month or Jersey for even less [1].
And this is one of the most expensive cities in the world. If you're smart, avoid unnecessary expenses, you can probably get by on 20k a year in expenses, which comes out to 26 hours a week at $15/hr, ignoring taxes. Taxes at about 15% at that low income means you'll probably want to earn closer to 25k to have 20k net which means 31 hours a week. But realistically you'll probably want to work full time or over time during the months school is not in session and closer to 20 hours a week at other times. Or try to find a job that pays more.

Don't know much about health insurance so that's also something you'll have to consider getting maybe through the school or some city program or just go without it.

Or just move to a more affordable city and probably cut everything above in half while hopefully only giving up a bit of the wage you'll earn

I've not looked at recent specs but Bluetooth security has always been a bit of a misnomer. It's roots are in FTP etc and older protocols not really designed for security in mind, never was. So to say it's become a security risk, when it already was, may be missing the point.
At least in Germany IMHO the biggest risk of ones own start-up is failure. While the social security network is rather strong, even if it used to be stronger, you can basically ruin your whole future career once potential employers perceive you as a failed entrepreneur. The reasons are many, but mostly cultural. And that is huge risk you take.

The state is actually encouraging people to start their own business out of unemployment with various programs and incentives. Not in the most efficient way or at a start-up scale but still.

I agree. Also note that moving from a 1% chance of success to a 4% chance of success _is_ a 400% boost. It also may be trivial. Moving from .1 to .4 works the same way. Both statements can be true at the same time.

I believe you are conflating simplicity and value. Someone may take one's solution and add value, and with it complexity inherent to that value, thereby increasing revenue. Adding (incidental) complexity, without adding value, will make your solution less profitable.

Not at all true. If you're on the coasts or big cities, things are better. When you navigate away from those loci, things get a lot worse, quick.

Homeless in my city has grown by 200% in the last 4 years. We regularly have new homeless show up in Bloomington, IN because we try to care for and support getting out of poverty and homelessness... However this is exacerbated by communities all around shipping us their homeless. Greyhound Therapy is a thing, and it happens more than you think.

The homeless problem is getting worse, by far. Wages have stagnated, rents inexorably go up, and overall cost of living goes up as well. Sure, some company makes more money, but the result too is people move. Sometimes it's to a different apartment, and sometimes it's to Main St. The big problem why "we" don't see it are the city, municipal, and state governments don't want to make a count of it. It's embarrassing - and the thought is 'If we don't count it, they'll go away'.

We in IT have been relatively immune, but I too suspect that will go by the wayside in the coming decades with the factorization and commodification of programming and IT administration.
What would "mediate" mean?

The EU is hardly in a position to actually address any security concerns.
What shocks me is that people are willing to take the claim of a 400% ROI from an agency fighting for budget dollars at face value.
Tech companies constantly have teams building tools and products that never ship because strategy changed. The developer-centric FAANGs probably do even more of this than the more traditional big corporations.
