"Also... the U.S. already can direct people not to farm and I'm 100% confident in emergencies or if it feels threatened it can take the foreign owned farmland back. I'm not super concerned about this one."

I've wondered about this for a while. On one hand, owning investments on foreign soil seems super risky when shit hits the fan, because you depend upon friendly relations with the legal system of the foreign country to enforce your property rights. If it really comes down to "Americans are going hungry and homeless because Chinese are speculating on real estate", don't you think they're going to kick the Chinese out regardless of what the deed says?

OTOH, the scale of interconnectedness across the globe seems to create a very large market for private non-national security companies. It's not just Chinese in America - as the article noted, it's Americans in a wide variety of other countries, as well as corporations owning factories and having whole supply chains across the globe. If shit hits the fan there will be a lot of money seeking mercenaries, private armies, and independent defense contractors to enforce their property rights globally.
The JVM had many chances to realize that goal. Java applets, J2ME, etc. I’m not sure which particular issue really kept it from keeping mindshare. I don’t think the virtual machine itself was ever really the problem.

Still, since the Java platform didn’t capture this use case of a general purpose abstract machine, it makes a whole lot of sense to develop something like WASM. It’s a much more neutral platform to build on.

In particular we actually don’t need to go through all of the things Java went through; we have a wealth of knowledge about what things work and what things don’t work so well. Yes, its a new JIT, but not that new: from my understanding typically the JavaScript JIT machinery is reused for the WASM JIT in browsers.

What brick & mortar businesses with sub $5m start up costs generate the highest cash ROIC? Please ignore businesses which require very deep domain specific knowledge that cannot be subcontracted through managers and employees.

I’m looking for strong cash returns on capital with a fairly non technical business.

> Compare the number of languages on the JVM to those on the CLR to see why they made this tradeoff

IMO the main reason why people aren't creating more CLR language is unrelated to generics. You can compile many languages to CLR bytecode and never emit these ldelem/stelem/unbox.any instructions. The main reason is C# is good language, and it evolves fast enough.

I don't believe Java developers deliberately crippled Java to incentivize third parties to develop more JVM languages.

I see, indeed IIUC index funds can stagnate and do not provide movement (up or down) on the market. So they are basically neutral when it comes to influencing trends. On the other hand, if the lack of active actors on the market means that the market is only going down, it would be inconsistent.

> How much do you trust ...

I trust them no less than I trust the domain resellers who administer DNS.

It used to be that all you had to do to be a CA was knock on some browsers' doors and say "I'm a CA, plz add me, kthxbai." But that hasn't been true for quite some time; now you have to go through audits and several other hoops to be added to the lists, and miscompliance results in browsers dropping often fatal ban hammers, as DigiNotar and WoSign can attest. Browsers have also developed fairly stringent policies for enforcing minimum cryptographic rules and audit mechanisms that allow for strong policies.

The goal of many DANE proponents is to replace the entire CA infrastructure and PKI system, but they haven't really put in the work to actually demonstrate the ability of clients to enforce strong policies in practice. The root keys are no longer unacceptably weak, but there is still a proliferation of weak keys. And it's not like DNS providers have done a good job of actually enforcing policies around things like name spoofing or enforcing UTS#46 validity.

Instead, we're just supposed to take it at their word that DNS providers make better CAs than our current CAs, and drop all of the auditing and the like that happens today. And if the Libyan government decides it wants to MITM a popular link shortener, we're supposed to just shrug our shoulders and say "nothing we can do," I guess.
> It will have a domino effect.

That is conjecture. Land grabs happen all over the world in a varied number of scenarios without destabilizing economies. Securities each have their own markets, but let's focus on the mortgage bonds.

How the US govt deals with the owenership of real estate is not directly tied to mortgage bonds on those properties, as long as the interest continues to be paid out or off. Eminent domain is a power and I'm not sure how it's use affects these bonds directly without provisions about dissolving them. In such a bold move, it's presumptuous to assume the federal govt wouldn't know the consequences beforehand (eg bank bailouts).
Thank you! Answers in order:

1) I can't think of a safe alternative for you, but maybe someone else here can.

2) Signal is a drop-in replacement for SMS, while there is no real replacement for Twitter or Slack. That's why I tell people to treat it as public, rather than move off those sites.

3) The consensus among my security friends is that Chrome is the safest mainstream browser, though Firefox is making big strides. The Tor browser is not safe for the reasons tptacek outlines here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19981733 I explain elsewhere in the post that I like to tell people to use a specific product. If they really love Firefox, I don't fight them.
A large number of these countries require country-level directors that are supposed to be accountable, or locally owned subsidiaries, etc.

This is literally the person who they would hall away in cuffs and send off to jail if they charged the corporation with a criminal act in the country, etc.

Requiring that, and then not letting them send those people, is definitely stupid.

Saying you have a model where someone else is accountable, and then not accepting that person as a stand-in, makes no sense.

Well, except for the "we want our political theater so we can look like we care to our constituents", which this kind of thing almost always is, it makes no sense.

For countries that don't, yeah, sure.

Canada allows both branches and wholly owned subsidiaries.
(I'm too lazy to discover which facebook is using).

In the subsidiary model, the subsidiary would, in a lot of cases, have its own CEO.

So if Facebook Canada is a subsidiary and has a CEO, Canada should be okay with that person testifying.

If they aren't, they shouldn't be allowing this model, and only allow the branch model.

(In the branch office model, i'm fine with requiring the parent CEO to testify)

How do you set this up!?

Every time I try to set the folks in my company up with security keys, the biggest problems are always:

1) How do I deal with the fact that someone just left? Something invariably is tied to their login, and I need to transfer control.

2) How do I deal with a broken/lost/stolen key? So many services simply will not let you install multiple keys on an account and it drives me up a tree.

I guess I don't even buy that CT is ineffective in real-time. If attacks don't happen because of the knowledge that misissuance would necessarily be publicly noticed and then severely punished, then it seems your users have been protected against real-time attacks, even if that's an emergent social phenomenon rather than a protocol guarantee.

You are probably right, but maintaining a day job is not a walk in the park either. You have to devote a lot of time and energy into it, and things might suddenly turn against you and you may find yourself in a tough spot.
This is not true. There is a difference between logical fallacies and judgement based on probability. Circular reasoning, strawman arguments and actual appeals to authority are not the same as taking into account the likelyhood than an expert is correct.

Having a good diet isn't in any way competitive with being up to date on your vaccines.

And a good diet absolutely will do something to prevent most infectious diseases - if your immune system is stressed/compromised due to a shit diet, you're much more likely to be infected when you're exposed. You're exposed to infectious disease constantly, and the reason you don't get sick the vast majority of the time is because you're successfully fighting those off.
I have mixed feelings about gRPC-Web, and welcome alternatives. Setting up a proxy with any sort of non-standard config can be a pain, gRPC-Web doesn't translate outbound request data for you which can get ugly[0], and your service bindings may or may not try to cast strings to JS number types which silently fail if over MAX_SAFE_INTEGER.

[0] Instead of passing in a plain object, you build it as such:

const userLookup = new UserLookupRequest();
const idField = new UserID();
idField.setValue(29);
userLookup.setId(idField);
UserService.findUser(userLookup);

The metadata field doesn't seem to mind though...
It is possible that it is Facebook that won’t allow subordinates to step in, in place of Zuck and Sandberg. I’m not saying that is what is happening. But it could be.

> Within any given area there is probably 6 to 7 stores within eyeshot and an easy walk.

That's just Tokyo and it's a very biased impression. Most places in Japan don't have that kind of density of combinis. I there there are about 55 000 combini in Japan, and there's probably 20% of that in Tokyo alone so you were in an area that's not representative of japan as a whole. In most other other cities there's rarely more than one combini at the same place, and you would not see 5-6 of them just by walking 5 minutes.

> I couldn't figure out how these places earn enough money to keep the lights on given the competition, now I guess I know.

Of course they earn money. They sell products with a high markup (like 30% more than everything you find in a supermarket), they have their own lines of products with even higher profit margins, and there's usually a density of population that guarantees a minimum of business viability anyway. Never seen a combini owner that was poor or having a hard time to make ends meet.
And they had no issue fronting in the US. Clearly the opinions from representatives to those countries are worth less in their eyes.

Find tasks that are done manually, but can be automated, and automate them

Look at "traditional" biz rather than software biz - these businesses are likely to be less tech savvy and probably use outdated tools and tech.

I've noticed that there are not as many Vim/Emacs related posts on HN during the past two years than before. And the discussions and upvotes have been less enthusiastic.

If it's indeed the case (I might well be off the mark), I can think of a few possible reasons,
Maybe because VS Code has won. It is much easier for beginners than Vim/Emacs (duh) but still powerful, so less questions and issues are raised. Its default setup is very good so customization is minimum, its plugins system are both vast and easy to use, etc.

Or, Vim itself has become easier to operate since version 8, tutorials are better than before, plugins are better,

Or on HN people these days have much more interests in talking about other topics. What do you think?
The problem is capitalism and not really 7-11. If 7-11 didn't do this, family mart would and the guy would probably lose his store altogether.

Capitalism doesn't care about people or the distress they feel during transitions. It's very effective at generally raising up the living standards of all people, but can be pretty inhumane at times when dealing with certain groups of people who's skills and services are becoming obsolete.

The only choice really is retraining and switching careers and having social safety nets. The other alternative, socialism, just spreads the pain across the entire world.

Our only realistic chance at reducing global poverty anytime soon is via capitalism. Sucks for this 7-11 owner, but that's how it goes.

Abstract:
"While a growing body of research is examining the impacts of prolonged occupational sitting on cardiovascular and other health risk factors, relatively little work has examined the effects of occupational standing.

The objectives of this paper were to examine the relationship between occupations that require predominantly sitting and those that require predominantly standing and incident heart disease. A prospective cohort study combining responses to a population health survey with administrative health-care records, linked at the individual level, was conducted in Ontario, Canada. The sample included 7,320 employed labor-market participants (50% male) working 15 hours a week or more and free of heart disease at baseline. Incident heart disease was assessed using administrative records over an approximately 12-year follow-up period (2003–2015). Models adjusted for a wide range of potential confounding factors.

Occupations involving predominantly standing were associated with an approximately 2-fold risk of heart disease compared with occupations involving predominantly sitting. This association was robust to adjustment for other health, sociodemographic, and work variables.

Cardiovascular risk associated with occupations that involve combinations of sitting, standing, and walking differed for men and women, with these occupations associated with lower cardiovascular risk estimates among men but elevated risk estimates among women."
> The web is absolutely built on naming of services that users can mostly understand -- that is, domainnames.

Users don't actually understand domain names. If Google were to make the result of searching for "facebook" return a facebook.google.com that MITM'd Facebook, they could capture ¼-⅓ of Facebook's traffic without any software complaining about it.

Your comments have a strong sense of "if we just made sure that the server is truly using the domain name, then everything would be hunky-dory." In fact, as far as I can tell from actual security problems, fully securing the domain name (or even authenticating the server properly in the first place) wouldn't improve security meaningfully for most people.
