> the interconnected nature of the global economy will likely ensure that there will be a resolution to this...

I hope so. Rational actor models worry me more in politics and foreign policy than in economics.

Reasons this might just keep getting worse:

1) Diffusion of responsibility: Those who see the trade war as dangerous assume someone else will influence events to avoid a greater crisis before we get there.

2) Frog boiling: People are setting expectations based on the current week and ignoring cumulative damage.

3) Self-doubt: Those who could use leverage in DC question whether traditional tools would be effective in the current political environment

4) Policy disagreements: Many powerful policy advisors believe the trade war will be good in the long run. Some are convinced that it is good in the short run.

5) Commitment devices: There are moments where both sides will "burn their ships" and be unable to move towards compromise without a show of contrition from the other side.

6) Madman theories: Leaders can justify irrationality in the short term by appealing to the long term benefits.

7) Lack of understanding: Each side can underestimate the others' domestic political forces that prevent quick compromise

I still hope you're right. Things could get worse rapidly in ways that are too staggering to wrap my head around, but it's also hard for me to imagine off-ramps based on all the personalities (and systems of advisors) involved on both sides.
You may be correct regarding American response. I'd suggest that alongside that, what we're likely to see is the Chinese government significantly tightening up on IP-rights enforcement because it would then be to their advantage to do so. So a nett result of greater IP-rights enforcement globally rather than the original optimistic/hopeful "it will be over soon" assessment.
Tragedy of the commons. Unless everyone does it, those that hold back will simply disappear.
Yes?

The vast majority of people in the world work in order to feed themselves and their families. This does not make the work “involuntary”.

Choice is obviously not an absolute, because we don’t live in magical fairy land. Choice is the ability to decide how you will go about feeding yourself and your family.

Gig economy simply increases the available choices, and provides quite a few fairly pleasant options, judging by how many people choose to do Gig work versus any other possible minimum wage (or below) job.

There is real slavery in the world. To equate Gig jobs with slavery is pretty terribly insulting both to Gig workers and the people actually suffering true slavery or slave-like conditions.

And as I said, the costs of those plants were escalating, even before changes to regulations. BTW, the most impactful regulatory change wasn't even targeted at nuclear at all, although a court ruling was needed to inform the industry and the AEC that the law (NEPA) also applied to nuclear power plants (Calvert Cliffs decision).

There's actually a pretty good Stackoverflow answer to this one: https://stackoverflow.com/a/43526842 (Which I think is a good pattern: sure, mention the "you probably should consider Y", but show the alternatives as well)
Honestly, I hope am answer to that question is never posted on stack overflow.

As for an answer, i think something like

Might work. Didn't test it though. The cat outputs all arguments in order, and - is stdin.

Newsweek needs to be censored. Why are we so slow in removing this disinfo rag? Whenever you see corporate media turning American against American they are identifying themselves as the enemy of the People.
When you have absolutely objective rules, bad actors can manipulate things in bad faith. That’s much the same as when companies try to establish objective management-by-metrics, it almost never turns out well, even though it seems to be “fair” in the sense that the rules are equally applied to all circumstances.

When you have subjective rules, you have a two-edged sword. When bad actors try to game the system, moderators/the judiciary/the benevolent dictator can step in and say, “I see what you’re up to, and I’m stopping it here.”

But of course, if you have bad actors enforcing rules that have subjective application, they can apply them unequally and create injustice. For example, if the police have the discretion whether to charge teenagers with a crime for possession of weed, they can overwhelmingly choose to charge members of one socioeconomic group, while overwhelmingly giving a pass to another.

My claim is that rigid rules are subject to gaming by bad actors subject to the rules, and flexible rules are subject to gaming by bad actors enforcing the rules.

Beyond ideological beliefs that “fairly applied” is more important than “just outcomes,” it comes down to looking at your threat model. In the case of Twitter, I consider Twitter’s own management to be the biggest threat.

Whereas with Hacker News, I trust the benevolence of its dictators, and consider bad faith users to be the biggest threat.

When a name I've never seen before on a -users mailing list asks me how to do X -- and X is bizarre -- I assume we have the XY problem.

We have the XY problem because the Internet is full of newbies at any given point, and we've wasted enough attention-span having sixteen-part conversations about how to extract the IP address from ifconfig output* that we'd really like to know if we can skip all that and answer with "Use a dynamic DNS client, don't write your own."

This is always the right wing take on this, that they're going to get fired, create fear, uncertainty, doubt, and inject that right into others minds, repeat for the next issue that helps anyone except for a corporation. That FUD works really well on the general public too. Surely Uber wants to do business and make money in one of the worlds largest economies, California, right? Why would they fire all of their employees? It makes absolutely no sense. Surely they will adapt, AI cars are not currently a threat, drivers will still be needed and hired.

When Seattle raised it's minimum wage to $15/hr the same FUD was being pushed, that all restaurants would fire all of their employee's, that Seattle would become literal hell and the local economy would crash. Didn't happen and restaurants now enjoy one of the top markets in the USA.
> "push" their browser

Windows didn't get to 90% market share because consumers chose it. Windows achieved overwhelming dominance because Microsoft punished computer manufacturers if they sold any competing operating system.

That's anti-competitive, and Google isn't doing anything like that.

Then Microsoft used their illegally-obtained dominant position in operating systems to bundle their shitty browser, essentially forcing every consumer to install it instead of any competitor. And you couldn't uninstall it if you wanted to.

Again, that's not at all similar to Google and Chrome. Windows, Mac, and iOS don't have Chrome pre-installed. Android manufacturers are free to pre-install Firefox or Opera or anything else they want.
My guess is that most parents do a bad job when compared to the platonic ideal of a parent people may think others have.

The implication being, that if one got through childhood without immediately obvious signs of abuse/neglect then their childhood may not have been as bad they think.

I grew up in the most liberal/educated part of my country and us children would laugh at lunch time about how getting beaten by a belt was so much better than a hanger.

Daily home rules were stricter than what western kids go through when grounded and saying no to their orders was not even an option. (for most)

I grew being occasional beaten by hand and stick. Strict rules were the norm and I never had sleepovers at friends or the like. But, my family allowed me to choose my career, they made huge sacrifices for me, and above all genuinely loved me.

The physical beatings and restriction on freedoms would have gotten CPS called on them in the west. But, I personally have a great great relationship with them and honestly, think I had pretty good parents as compared to my country's average.

People underestimate how many children get a shitty childhood. I will take my imperfect parents over what many of my peers had.
I use it for my wireless headphones. It yields convenience. For small batteries, wireless isn't much of a waste. There are other ways to be mindful for the environment. Ways which have bigger impact. Not opting for a wireless charging for environmental reasons is in this case more a matter of "feel good". I get free electricity from the sun as well, and I would save more on electricity by getting a new washing machine (current is 7 years old).

I'll never forget one time in a large meeting when the technical experts were asked by one of the c suites what serverless meant. One brave soul rose to the challenge and after some fumbling around in their answer, they ended it with "you basically just upload the code to the server and then the server runs the code for you".

Took awhile for the cringing to go away on that one.
This same experience happened to me 6mos ago as well, actually I tend to read this online every month or so. No response from them for weeks, they without warning locked and deleted all instances, data, backups, everything. It wasn't until I posted on HN that I got a response. They said it was a mistake and apologized but...yea...whoops we deleted everything and killed your start up, want a free month of service? So no matter how slick the UI, I will go out of my way to never use this trigger happy company that is killing peoples startups on a regular basis.
Of course no-one needs a server for serverless. Just some hardware with a operating system.

They include the cost of all of that in their prices, at least, someone who ran a good business would. This is not comparable to Uber, because drivers do not set their own prices. I also am pretty certain Uber takes much higher percent cut than eBay and Paypal/payment processing.
Gonna have to ask for a cite on this one.

Google search prefers sites that are fast. Amp makes sites fast.

Non-Amp sites that are equally fast and relevant get equal search ranking.

Is there any evidence whatsoever that Google ranks Amp sites higher because of Amp, instead of speed and relevance?

Should check out what places with no/few regulations looks like, like India/Somalia/Brazil.

I keep a personal library (of physical books) for this reason. People often underestimate the value of spacializing knowledge. I write in the margins, mark them up, and leave scraps of paper with notes. Then I put them on shelves in broad categories - for me that’s things like architecture, design, technical, photography, philosophy. The result is a system thats’s easy to retrieve from, and importantly, easy to browse. The spines become symbols for collections of thought. I have yet to come across a piece of software that more effectively facilitates drawing inferences and connections from deep material. IMHO everything else can be found on Google.

> Many static languages have no dynamic types, I think that's worse.

I can't think of a static language that doesn't support a dynamic type, it's just that most require explicit casts or unpacking to use with existing typed interfaces, e.g. "Object" in Java.

> Strongly typed used to mean safe

It still does, it's just that type theory doesn't distinguish between a runtime failure with a nice error message versus a segfault, both are programs that "go wrong".

I would be in favour of "strong dynamic types" instead of "strongly typed".

I fail to understand why we should trust apple.

By default, we don't really own the device; we rent it from them at purchase prices.

Alibaba just decided to IPO (again) in Hong Kong -- as opposed to offering more shares through their existing US exchange. Given the timing of this decision, it sounds like at least their leadership think this trade war may go on for a while.

Excellent. Consumers should be paying more for these things so that drivers have benefits and good pay. Solidarity with your fellow American worker. I personally leave huge tips and 5/5 stars no matter what unless I almost physically die or am assaulted. I know they aren't making great money and some probably live in their cars. I don't use them unless it's a non-medical emergency though.

I'm not sure; I mean we pretty much had our own homegrown CRM which worked pretty good and we had a ton of internal knowledge about it.

So, in at least a couple of cases, these events coincide with the deployment of new air defense tech with advanced information processing capabilities?

And the exchange plans are, nonetheless, dramatically worse at a given price point than employer plans.

The primary reasons appear to be the giant tax subsidy for employer plans and the fact that insurers aggressively discriminate against people who don’t have employer plans.

Your FUD is basically saying "I approve of major exploitation". Robots are coming, but not any time really soon. Autonomous vehicles are not a current threat in the slightest, might as well make drivers lives better at the expense of a corporation who's executives and corporate employee's will do just great.

Remove the drivers, Uber doesn't have a business. Their drivers are the most important thing to them.

> The problem with your argument is that electricity is fungible and it's wide available. When you buy you Nissan Leaf, you don't need Tesla's charging ports, you can plug it on any power outlet. You might miss the fast charging, but that's it.

You're explaining why Tesla doesn't have a charging port monopoly in practice. The hypothetical is that they do. You can't use any other power outlet in the same way that you can't install an Android app on an iPhone.

> When you go buy a phone, one of the factors you have to decide is "what app store do I want".

Which is what creates the app store monopoly. There wouldn't be one if you could make that decision independently, which is the whole point. It's classic tying.

Moreover, the "customer" of the app store is as much the developer as the user, given that they're the ones paying all the fees. But they don't get to choose between platforms any more than Walmart chooses to operate in Florida instead of California, because they have to reach their customers in both regions, not just one or the other.

By contrast, Nike can choose Target instead of Walmart because they both operate in both regions, so they can still reach substantially all of their customers through one store if the other is being unreasonable, since it's much easier for the customer to switch stores for a desired product when that doesn't require switching locations/platforms at the same time.
