I think this is really unlikely to happen, because all Trump has to do is put even higher tariffs on any goods that use said elements that are made in China.

The impact would cripple Chinese exports to the US, which could put their economy into recession - and a recession is the last thing that Xi wants to deal with.

My gut tells me that the rare earths will be more subtle - such as export slowdowns due to new paperwork requirements that magically appear. Much more effective, and China doesn't have to look like the bad guy.

Little offtopic, but I disagree that Tesla's touch screen makes it look "futuristic". In fact lack of more traditional displays, knobs, etc. makes the car interior seem very empty, giving you impression of riding something that was built by an amateur in his garage. I mean, if I was building a prototype of my own car I would probably just have bought an iPad and have glued it to a dashboard.

Forgive my ignorance but does CloudFlare have any technical or infrastructural advantage to address problems like the great firewall? Or provide options for people when their nation states lock down the internet? Access to a free and open internet seems like a worthy moonshot to pursue.

I don't think things are as clear cut as you make them out to be.

Apple says nobody can run apps on their phone without handing them a 30% cut. No side-loading, no other stores, nothing. There is very obviously a market for apps that Apple controls completely. Just because there are other app stores for other phones does not mean Apple doesn't have control over the entire market for iPhone apps. Markets can be narrowly defined in anti-trust law. Apple is fleecing iPhone users for that 30%.

I don't think there's a good parallel case for this. DRM'd Keurig cups are the closest thing I could think of, but that never went to court that I know of. The case will be interesting: can you create a secondary market that you exert total control over? Can I bar anyone else from selling apps for my phone?

Personally, I don't think Apple should be able to do what they are doing and I hope they lose. It would be a win for consumer rights and free market principles.

We build a next-gen version of HDFS (HopsFS) that has distributed, consistent, transactional metadata where small files (<1MB) can be stored in NVMe disks in the metadata layer. And it's open-source - cf WekaIO, etc. And it's performance is backed by peer-reviewed publications at tier-1 conferences (Usenix fast, ACM middleware, etc).

Our business model is to build a data science platform, Hopsworks, around our distributed metadata layer. And yes we use YARN (training models) and also Kubernetes (serving models). The choice of resource mgr is really just an implementation detail, as the platform is backed by a REST API.

Is food as a hobby and an escape anything new? There have been feasts since the beginning of time. You can find plenty of stories of people enjoying making and eating food before the modern time. I do agree it's much more widespread now. Also, food has become extremely affordable. Totally agree about our sedentary lives though.

It isn't much of an exaggeration to say his company is under sustained attack by the United States. Control over telecommunications is a plank in the US's strategic dominance; if Huawei was based in Iran a WMD-found-boots-on-ground-needed incident might even be on the cards. There are 300 million people in the world who are notionally legally bound to try and make Huawei's life difficult.

When I got one of those electric unicycles, I got mine from Inventist (Solowheel), I was shocked to learn how badly the company got ripped off in China. Since they were fabricated there, they copied the thing to a tee and hundeds of companies started making the same thing, some copies bad and dangerous, others improved. To summarize, the original company, Inventist, was attemped a mafia style takeover, I think they were offered a few mil USD which they refused. The gyro mechanism was based on some patented technology from Segway and eventually one of the chinese companies took over Segway.. Real story:( Things coming from China are now cheap but after they eliminate all the competitors they’ll name the price. Of course, US is not an angel either, they’re the ones to open the pandora’s box to cheap chinese labor, moved all their factories there to gain the short term profits by eliminating the cost of their own workers.

Freegansim: A Radical Rejection of Consumerism
> The only place where Safari falls short is 3D CAD programs

Safari has poor controls if you care about privacy and having some modicum of control over the websites you visit.

In Chrome we can — on a per-site basis — disable/enable JavaScript; disable/enable cookies (and local storage); allow only some cookies; set which cookies clear on exit. You can also do more, but those are the ones I use.

You can do all that without extensions, and the controls are right there on the omnibar. In Safari, I can’t even do that with an extension (that I’m aware of).
A toddler operating a vehicle is a possibility in almost all consumer cars, especially when not turned off.

I would use FF more (and GC less) if FF supported multiple users the way GC does. I have a Chrome instance for each project/client. That has its own bookmarks, history, password manager, etc. Everything is silo'ed and therefore neatly organized.
They can't be, unless you generate them badly.

A diceware passphrase has 6^6 possibilities ≈ 15 bits of entropy per word, so an unremarkable 5-word password has 77 bits of entropy — generally good enough — and if you have a high value target that might be susceptible to offline attacks, 90-100 bit passwords are still pretty easy to remember.

I wish people wouldn't use XKCD as the go-to reference for "collection of randomly selected words"-style passwords; it always seems to leave people confused about why the technique works.

They all sucked. MapR sucked the least. Considering a comparable EMC solution was ~20x more expensive and less flexible, MapR happened to be in the right place at the right time with the right software but blew it because they decided they knew better what the customers needed to buy vs what the customers wanted to buy.

Fundamentally, file system clusters are a very difficult business to get into and make enough money to justify being in that business. On a low end there's open source stuff that kind of sort of works. Selling consulting on a top of it is at best a ramen-profitable business. No one is buying a Ceph-consulting for a million dollars if they run a business that needs that size of storage -- the data is too valuable to do a semi-custom solution and be a test case for Ceph, Gluster, etc.

On the top end there are EMCs of the world with $350K/node pricing + yearly 10% support contract. Finally, there's a "rewrite the app" alternative ( call it 1 year, million $ price tag to move to object store ) that a customer company is always considering.

So the sweet spot is enterprise solution with a license cost of about $12k-$24k per year per node which has EMC/Isilon/NetApp-like functionality that unbundles software from hardware. The tricky part is that it needs to be a proven solution that works on the comparable EMC/Isilon/NetApp sized deployments. To do that one needs to have a lot of excellent engineers that cost a lot of money, a lot of sales engineers that intrinsically understand the commonality between the customers' requirements and can explain it to those engineers and a lot of very expensive test beds.

What i've seen, from new grad to mid level its generally technical abilities - can you get work done. In many cases by that point youre pretty close to the bar for an individual coder - there's only so many hours in a day. At that point the expectation starts shifting to can you increase the business, where coding is a tool to do it. but so is leading teams and training people, if you can increase 10 engineers by 10% in a month, youve paid for a whole new engineer. or working with product to make sure youre building what solves the problem theyre solving. Going really deep optimizing some code path that saves some money might be worth it, and its one way to get promoted, but it's usually fairly localized.
Generally the communication ways are more visible and impactful.

We have a rubric on what each level is, and the higher you go the expectation on breadth of the org that you affect is higher. Your code, your team, your org, multi-org
> Unless I'm quite mistaken, that should more than make up for their lost ad revenue.

It's not just the ad revenue itself that has to be replaced.

In addition to that, you have substantial costs baked into supporting a subscriber program. Customer service costs, payment processing fees, development effort to manage your subscriber system itself, incremental development and creative costs to ensure your wireframes and functionality account for the ad-free and ad-filled versions (which may include multiple form factors and platforms for content delivery), marketing related costs (be it marketing labor, development labor, conversion rate optimization labor, etc) for user acquisition and retention work, and additional complexity in ensuring harmony between what you promise in your subscriber contract and what promises you're making in your advertising/data brokerage contracts.

In addition to all that overhead, the people that pay for subscriptions are those with disposable income to pay for subscriptions. Which substantially overlaps with who advertisers want to reach. So the more valuable part of your audience pool is self-selecting out of your advertising pool, which exposes you to substantial risk of devaluing your advertising pool and the CPMs you can command overall far in excess of the value of any single individuals ad- and data- related revenue (which only gets worse as your paid subscriber base gets larger and more noticeably absent from your advertising pool).

So you take on risk at the beginning in the form of overhead, and as your subscriber base scales the overhead becomes less of an issue as it's amortized across a larger base. But your risk itself still exists, it just shifts over to the advertising side of the house where your addressable audience is becoming less and less valuable (or maybe even just less in volume, if not in value).

And after all that, if they just broke even it wouldn't be worth the risk. So in addition to just paying for your equivalent value to an advertiser that month, you're paying for that + a portion of the overhead and incremental costs it takes to support the ad-free version + a portion of the long term devaluation of the advertising pool that results from having an ad-free version + a bit of profit to ensure it was all worth the hassle to begin with.
I'm pretty sure that Opera and Firefox had that search feature before Chrome was even released ?
Except that isn't what is happening. Side loading is allowed on iOS and is how Netflix is currently monetizing their iOS users.

Here are a few firefox settings to make your URL field behave only as a URL field:

user_pref("keyword.enabled", false);
user_pref("browser.fixup.alternate.enabled", false);
user_pref("browser.urlbar.suggest.searches", false);
user_pref("browser.urlbar.filter.javascript", true);

You can put these in a "user.js" file in your profile directory if you don't have one already, or just set them in about:config
So two things. The MSI installer will convert a local (EXE) installation to a global install (updating shortcuts and removing the local profile install whilst preserving the chrome profile).

Second, Firefox does have ADMX policies (ADMX being used primarily after Vista): https://github.com/mozilla/policy-templates. I believe it took them so long because they were initially reluctant, user freedom etc. But I guess Chrome's success in enterprise made them reconsider. Honestly I never considered Firefox for our Windows Domain because of the lack of Group Policy support. Now I deploy both and users have options :)

For the security angle it seems the first naive thing would be to count prior known vulnerabilities, but then, the projects that do absolute worst at that are not going to have discovered their security bugs let alone document them well.

LGPL 2.1 6c - on request, you provide the user with object code they can link against their custom version. Should be enough, if no other terms of the app store get in the way?

If you could define what you mean by "actual consent," and compare it to "legal consent," that would be great.
Firefox is a great browser. However, the reason I end up back on Chrome is because neither iOS or Android have Firefox as the default browser.
Sadly, as a front-end focused dev life is easier to build stuff out for Chrome and to a lesser extent, Safari because you know that’s the rendering engine the vast majority of your users will see.
I’d happily opt for Safari, as I respect Safaris ethos (privacy, speed, battery perf etc) but their dev tools are lacking so many basic features. Bugs like this don’t help: https://mobile.twitter.com/benfrain/status/11311423923866419...
