Yes, I wasn't fully clear: It's the authors who wield the most power. Google as a whole doesn't really care so long as it works for the things they do (and it already does, so they really don't care anymore).

This isn't a case of an evil empire seeking to enslave our minds via a programming language; it's a company open sourcing their internally designed language, and engaging the community to make it more useful outside of Google (and to increase the number of people who use the language, which is always good because it means a greater pool of developers who could possibly work for them).
Do you think Chinese mines would pollute less than US mines? How many environmental activists do you think exist in China?

Indeed. The American side of the trade war is not based on economic math. It's a political tool to win domestic support. What China does in response is essentially irrelevant, short of something extreme enough to wreck their own economy.

Build a Product That’s Not Going to Make $100M
But, also remember that a lot of pollution in China subventions our life-style in the west.

If someone is able to build factories and produce basically any piece of plastic, electronic device or clothing we use, far cheaper than over here, there’s bound to be trade-offs.

These trade-offs concern human rights and the environment.

If we were to, say, halve our consumption of “stuff”, this would have a massive effect on pollution in China.

Or people enjoy soda because the of insane amount of sugar put in it by people intending to make the product as addictive as possible.

Remove the sugar from soda and you have awful-tasting water.

Sugary drinks are no better than cigarettes, and the people pushing them know exactly what they are doing and what they are exploiting.
I'm curious if you extend that attitude of "outsiders should believe what we tell them" to other fields? Nutrition science or social psychology, perhaps. What about the humanities?

I'm not convinced that a well-educated observer from outside of a field must be incapable of spotting flaws in the reasoning of professionals or the evidence they use to support it.

By targeting Boeing, they really are targeting FAA power over other national or transnational agencies. Can this cause repercussion on other US agency power? I know that FDA ruling is mostly ignored in western countries, and this do not impact any other US-based agencies, so maybe it won't have any other consequences.

If this only impact Boeing the US should be glad. And Boeing deserve a slap anyway. Their decision killed more than 300 people and the people responsible won't really be impacted (as the marginal utility of the money decrease the more you already have).
I normally see balloons and think of the wasted helium, which is a bit of a nerd response. We in tech worry about the loss of helium on these petty applications but lose this battle.

The damage to wildlife from ingested balloons and how they are more toxic than previously imagined is something I will be astro-turfing from now on. I care about the birds a lot more than the helium.

Where did that come from? The big problem with rare earth mines is huge tailings ponds.[1][2]

Mountain Pass CA has a reasonably clean process. Even the Sierra Club approved.

Molycorp built the current plant, but once they got going, China cut the price of rare earth metals. Then, once Molycorp went bankrupt, the price from China went up.[3]

Currently the views are generated once per hour. Everything in Volument is based on aggregation, ie we look how much "traction" is generated in the first 1, 3, 7, 14, or 30 days (based on your ability to retain visitors). All that important information is not real-time.

We see the importance of real-time tracking on the initial onboarding phase so that it's easier to debug things and see the potential setup errors.

We're just getting started so not everything in place yet.

But you're talking about guiding your children, not observing your neighbours. This is 'how do I make other people choose the same things I would choose', not 'people aren't free to make their own choices because [the government somehow]'; it's not 'people aren't free to choose', it's 'I don't like what they choose'.

I also don't like what they choose, and I don't disagree with any of your suggestions; I think these would all be good ideas. But you're asking for less freedom, not more.

We run in-browser end to end tests for our browser extension. There were several reasons for flakiness:

* Puppeteer (browser automation) bugs or improper use. Certain sequence of events could deadlock it, causing timeouts relatively rarely. The fix was sometimes upgrading puppeteer, sometimes debugging and working around the issue.

* Vendor API, particularly their oauth screen. When they smell automation, they will want to block the requests on security grounds. We have routed all requests through one IP address and reuse browser cookies to minimize this.

* Vendor API again, this time hitting limits on rare situations. We could have less parallel tests, but then you waste more time waiting.

Eventually, we will have to mock up this (fairly complex) API to progress. It's got to a point where I don't feel like adding more tests because they may cause further flakiness - not good.

That's a fair point. I guess a mine like Mountain Pass in California would still be a much cleaner site than a chinese mine, even though the EPA is now a clown agency basically.

Ridiculous and a laughable accusation. The page you referred to has nothing substantial.

that's exactly what the US propaganda also claims
Skunkworks is a legend in aerospace, and rightly so. Shows what's possible if give brilliant people a common goal, some resources and leave them otherwise alone. The fact that the F-117 was developed in time and within budget says a lot. As usual nobody drew the right lessons from it.

I got my fingers on a report about the F-16 development from the eighties from the budget office. Funny to read it, especially the questioning of staggering spare part needs today when you know that Skunkworks "sourced" the F-117 material from the F-16 and F-15 programs.

Google is a clear monopoly, there's no doubt about it. It has a 70% browser market share, 70% market share in the search ecosystem.

"I think the US has shown so far that it's not going to easily bend to such threats"

This is a cliche problem with these "great power" games. On one hand, neither side can publicly "bend." OTOH, public statements and/or implications that "we'll make them bend" are politically popular.^

Concessions are only possible when the volume of disputes are muted. Once they become national pride issues, or leaders put their own image on the line.... At that point, it's no longer about commodities or tariffs or whatnot. It's about winning.

^China is not a democracy, but that does not mean they don't have politics or that public perception is less important.
I think the good ideas that make the product compelling and innovative are hidden too far away from the elevator pitch. Measuring engagement after the page has loaded rather than before is an extremely good one.

I would never say 'advertising doesn't work on me' but it definitely doesn't seem to have the intended effect (persisting the brand in my memory for future sales) in a lot of cases.

Example 1: Coca Cola adverts. I can't stand coke, it tastes like soap to me. No amount of viewing their adverts (which are everywhere) will make me want a coke.

Example 2: I find most adverts cringey and embarassing and they serve only to make me avoid the company responsible in the future. If I see an annoying ad, I react wityh an aversion to products by that company. It's not true of everything, but it happens enough that I notice it.
Bamboo straws for both home and bar use are pretty neat. I don't know if its true for children, but for grown men and women it feel better, at least. And those cost a less (especially if you already have small bamboo home and friend with woodwork equipement).

What the current US government want to achieve is not clear neither. You can't expect China to say nothing and just abide to whatever.

There's no long term view, China has quite a few things they can use to pressure the US and it will be stupid for them not to use those.

It's a self-harming game and the first one to bend will lose it. The longer US tarifs stays, the more some US companies that depends on those imports will be in trouble. China has plenty of cards to go the same route, controlling a huge part of the western companies production system. It feels to me that this is just a first card, and there's some more damaging ones to both China and the US to come.

And to be honest, with the current US behaviour, between this and Iran, the only thing it achieve is that most of the world will want to be as independant as possible of the dollar in the future

One could also say that "[China] has shown so far that it's not going to easily bend to such threats, [so] this was a bad move on their part" about the Huawei gambit.

...as long as your community dependencies never happen to depend in-turn on differing major releases of the same module. This is absolutely a show-stopper, and dep critics were right to highlight it. That these critics might be mostly Googlers in this specific case would seem to be a red herring.

I know people love to parrot this libertarian talking without really thinking it through. Generally young, logic-minded people that end up following some kind of Randianism and cannot fathom the possibility that people are, by and large, basically bastards to each other.

The truth is the government is a social contract designed to actually protect people from violence. Yeah, it taxes people. But it also protects them from mobsters and racketeers and is at least supposed to offer a chance to poor people. A libertarian paradise dooms the poor to never be able to afford education and basic necessities unless they sacrifice through slave wages. In a libertarian paradise, the rich run amok, and children of rich people start with an insane advantage that no amount of smartness or slaving away will ever erase. And no, by and large, people are not Howard Roarks in hiding. Most people are within 2 sigma of the mean--i.e. not geniuses. In a situation with no social contract, the 5 sigmas both in terms of intelligence and aggressiveness prey on and suppress the rest. Inequality skyrockets. It ultimate results in violent revolutions, like France. In short, libertarianism is madness.

In general it'd be great to have a discussion about these things, but since this comment is just some non-thinking spouting of absurdity, I'll just leave it here. I already said too much.
IMO most configuration should just be environment variables. How you get them there is up to you, but exporting env vars from a config file shouldn't be a super hard task.

I kinda miss your point. What then does the Fukushima incident reflect? Danger of Japanese system, lol? Or as the US contractors built it, the US system?

Huawei takes US to court over security law
> do you have an example?

Sure, try this:

echo 1 2 | awk '{ print gensub(/1/, "3", "g", $1); }'

The logical thing for them to do would be to mention in bold and/or big and/or red font under gensub's documentation that it's an extension (e.g. try nawk), whereas looking through it I don't see any mention at all: https://www.gnu.org/software/gawk/manual/html_node/String-Fu...

If I may rant about this for a bit, GNU software manuals are generally rather awful (though they're neither alone in this nor is it impossible to find exceptions). They frequently make absolutely zero effort to display important information more prominently and unimportant information less so (if you're even lucky enough that they tell you the important information in the first place). Like if passing --food will accidentally blow up a nuke in your hometown, you can expect that if they documented it at all, they just casually buried it in the middle of some random paragraph. Their operating assumption seems to be that if you can't be bothered to spend the next 4 hours reading a novel before writing your one-liner then it's just obviously your fault for sucking so much.
> What is your reply when folks point out that the "community-driven" modules solution did not meet the needs of anyone managing a sufficiently-large project with independently-developed (i.e. 'community'!) dependencies?

There are many who would dispute your assertion very vigorously. I mean...the core issue was being able to have semantic import versioning, which is a feature most languages used in very large projects do not have. (And the most widely used language to try and solve the underlying issue is node, which is not well known for its suitability for large, complex projects, so...) And Cox tried and failed to explain why he thought semantic import versioning was important to a committee that included many people who had worked on large projects written in Go and other languages, so...must be a bit of a subtle issue. :)

But sure. Fine. Let's just accept your entire claim as fact for the sake of argument, because even so, the real concerns here have nothing do with whether or not dep was fit for purpose, it has to do with the Go team's unwillingness to work with the community over what it would mean for a modules tool to be fit for purpose.

If you piece together the different accounts, we can say with some confidence what happened, and it's pretty clear that the core issue is the dep team wanted to work with the Go team on a solution that met the needs of everyone, and the Go team did not, so they didn't.

Which is fine, of course. Cox had every right to refuse to talk to the dep team, throw their work away, and re-implement it from scratch. I'm sure he enjoyed developing vgo, and perhaps it even saved him time compared to having to explain his ideas to the plebians on the dep committee...but even if so, that's not how you have a successful community driven project.

> Rust does the right thing there, this is a fact.

Ironic then, that dep was a straight up effort to copy Cargo, and most critic's of the Go teams management of the language have looked to Rust as an inspiration.

For all of our sanity, please don't start producing 8-bit H.264 videos with full 0-255 range.

If you have enough control over the decoder and renderer to make that hack work, you should just be producing 10-bit HEVC/AV1 video – which does not suffer from these 8-bit banding issues – with a modern color space (Rec 2020, PQ, etc.).

And if you don't have choice or control over the decoder and renderer, then it's a good sign that this would be a fragile hack.
