The parent is drastically exaggerating.

The US dropped its steel tariffs against Canada and imports ~$325 billion in goods from Canada (equal to ~19% of their economy). Canadian steel represents <2% of that.

Meanwhile the US is going to allow Infineon to buy Cypress, an important US semiconductor company.

The US will have roughly a $21.x trillion economy at the end of 2019. The scale of non-China tariffs is entirely trivial, meaningless. So far there has been very little in the way of actual hits and targeting from tariffs - on the grounds of national security or otherwise - outside of the trade conflict with China.
I heard an argument once that made me try a 3 month experiment in my Japanese studies. The argument's core is summarized here:

"It's easier to learn something after you've already been introduced to it."

What is meant by that is that it is better to learn 20 of 100 things than 10 of 10 things and that after being introduced to 100 things the other 80 things will be learned more easily as you've now been introduced to them. Introducing yourself to new things, therefore, is more important than actually learning about each individual thing.

So after five days of study the comparison might look like this:

20/100 | 45/200 | 70/300 | 100/400 | 135 / 500 (learned 135 things, introduced to 500 things)
vs
10/10 | 20/20 | 30/30 | 40/40 | 50/50 (learned 50 things, introduced to 50 things)

I drastically increased my daily vocab study from 5 kanji/10 vocabulary words a day to 50 kanji and "hours of vocabulary" a day (200-300~ words on average). I'd fail to remember 70-80% of it (and this was tracked on Memrise quite well). But remembering 20-30 vocab words/day was already twice as fast as remembering 10 vocab words a day. This had a knock-on effect: the more kanji and vocabulary I learned the easier it was to learn new kanji and new vocabulary and so that 10-20% would slowly increase until I was remembering 30-40% each day. The vocabulary and kanji I learned during this time are also the ones I remember best and can recall without prompting.

I now use this method of "completely drowning yourself even after you think you've already drowned" when learning anything. Whenever I get to a point of "OK, I think that's enough studying for today. I couldn't possibly remember more than this." I take however much time I had just studied for and, time permitting, continue studying for that length of time again. Without fail - I learn more than I thought I could.

This also helps identify "problem topics" that I can delve more into, focus on, or even put off entirely to come back to it later. Sometimes understanding what comes after brings enlightenment on the things meant to come before.

The only issue with this study method is that being wrong almost all the time can be very demotivating. You have to keep in mind that that is the point! You'll be wrong most of the time - best get used to it.

While that's all true, again as a practical matter, a massive multi-decade-old denizen like Apple in some ways has more cultural and institutional inertia than even the US government. Especially now. Life is short; Apple's "for now" has been 43 years running.
Yes. Either. Depends on your application. It may be a feature of orm caching as well.
My organization has used them for years as wall terminals for our time clock system. Recently though many of them have started suffering from swelling batteries so we're swapping them out for custom-built units.
I mean, you've got the right to not answer the door. They just have the right to break the door down because of the lawful warrant. You don't have to help with your own incarceration, i.e. point out evidence they were unable to find, why would you be expected to do the same thing on their phone? Police can't force people to testify either. If your only evidence of a crime rests on the defendent's compliance you've got a poor case. If you can't tie an IP to a device on a specific date and time without forcing someone to open their own device and admit guilt and ownership, then you're really not trying hard enough. The only way that the police can prove who committed a crime on a cell phone that is encrypted is either admission of ownership or compulsion. Neither of which is evidence of a crime in and of itself. They would still have to prove that the person who owned the phone committed the crime, otherwise why have the burden of proof on the prosecutor? These aren't civil cases we're generally talking about where the evidence requirement is lighter these are criminal cases where, as far as I understand anyways, the burdens are much higher. Add to that a cell phone is essentially a tracking device. While your position is certainly a reasonable one to take, I don't think it truly encapsulates the intent of our court system as designed and in fact expressly works against innocent until proven guilty.

This is really cool. I searched for "Korea" and the third result was a page of Richard Stallman's website about his visit to Korea in 2000, from which I discovered he wrote about an array of big companies and why not to use them---pretty interesting. Last time I met him was in Finland. Such a consistent, profound character.

We aren't in disagreement, and I don't take your comment as a challenge, it was exactly something we went through with this feature. The point is, who gets to decide what "good enough" is? The difference between my "good enough" is a lot different than my coworker's "good enough", and I think that's what separates levels of maturity as a developer.

In fact Cassandra wasn't my first choice, but a strongly consistent database wasn't available to us. As I mentioned in another comment, making the very best decision you can given the constraints of your system is what one should strive for. Not stopping at "good enough" because of (poor) intuition that error conditions "probably won't happen".

We decided to go with LWT and eat the latency costs as a trade off to "stronger" consistency, realizing that Cassandra doesn't offer the same strong consistency as an ACID database. Not perfect, but it fit within our SLA, decreased the probability of encountering duplicate values, and if there was an error, it was easier to detect and the user could be directed to try again, vs having a completely silent error condition that would cause a small percentage of our users tremendous amounts of trouble.

TL;DR no, yes, probably no

Go is a compiler+runtime. AFAIK any copyleft compiler worth using explicitly makes exceptions for its output and runtime, but the FSF says generally that the output of a GPL program is not also GPL[0]. If the runtime is AGPL (without such exception) and you link it into your program, your program is now considered a modified version of the AGPL runtime (e.g. it works exactly like the GPL in that linking is considered modifying). If your service interacts with users over a network, you have to offer the source of your modified program. Since you linked the runtime, you didn't even have to modify the Go source code to make an improvement (if there were an LAGPL, the linking could be OK unless you made the modification).

The other two cases are more ambiguous since they do deal with the ambiguous part of the license. The license says "interacting with it remotely through a computer network". However, it's not clear how much indirection is allowed, so you have to use some judgement. The FSF gives guidance [1]

> If a program is not expressly designed to interact with a user through a network, but is being run in an environment where it happens to do so, then it does not fall into this category.

However, I would be careful not to create a combined work that does interact with a user over a network in an attempt to circumvent this. E.g. a network proxy that was intimately tied to a non-networked program. See [2]

> By contrast, pipes, sockets and command-line arguments are communication mechanisms normally used between two separate programs. So when they are used for communication, the modules normally are separate programs. But if the semantics of the communication are intimate enough, exchanging complex internal data structures, that too could be a basis to consider the two parts as combined into a larger program.

Unless you consider the imagemagick command line arguments "complex internal data structures", it's probably difficult to run afoul of this.

For the Google search engine case, it depends on what degree the tooling interacts with users over a network. E.g. if it's part of an batch process to calculate rankings, it's not interacting with users over a network. If it's a backend that renders part of the results page for user requests, then probably yes. If it's crawl infrastructure that downloads pages on the web, probably no since that network interaction probably isn't considered to be with a user[3].

I'm sure they will, but I'd take that as evidence that they do intend to sell it or spam me.

Which would be even more reason not to sign in at all. That said I'm sure that whenever the official guidelines come out there will be something explicit about not doing so (although of course that would only apply to apps)
They have a list of what websites i sign into with my Apple ID. Which is more information than they used to have. If you switch from signing in with your email address to signing in with your apple ID, that's one more entity that knows about that relationship than otherwise would.

I'm not trying to say this is a bad thing, I love what apple's doing here. I'm just trying to push back against any suggestions that apple is giving something up. They are collecting more data about their users now than they were previously, and positioning themselves as the gatekeeper of user identity. There's every indication that they're doing this for the right reasons, and it's good for users, but it still increases their control and their stored user data.
>Also, I write ‘argue’ and not ‘show’ because, in such a case, the burden of proof would soon fall on the party claiming the parts to be counterfeit.

Not exactly. US Customs will seize any such items before they even get to you, do an internal investigation, and inform you that you are trying to import counterfeit items. Yes, you can then go to court, but the cost will be enormous (compared to the cost of the parts).
They're libertarian because they oppose dependence on a state and its authority. Nothing else is needed, certainly not a particular moral alignment.

> can't just add Apple because it'll look annoying for our Android users if there's Apple and no Google

just like it looks annoying for your Android users that there's Facebook but no Google?
Often, yes... it will largely depend on what you are doing, how cacheable things are, and how large your data set is.

If you are largely static and most of your content is tethered to fixed keys that can map from URL patterns, then you could through a large redis cache in front and it wouldn't be the bottleneck... or enough ram to cache on-system.

There are more details to how much your disk or database are your bottleneck, but in almost every case, they are still much slower than your CPU or your network interface (that may be a bottleneck in some cases),

I'd love if someone could explain if the 'fake email' address that the developer gets from Apple will be the same across all apps from the same developer? Or is there some way for the developer to link a login on one app to the same user on another app from the same developer?

I'm all in favour of increasing user privacy and the general direction that Apple is moving but we've got multiple Apps which allow users to log in via Game Centre, Facebook or Twitch to the same account. This allows them to access their friends, messages and support tickets from any of our Apps. We're able to do this because each of those providers gives us a unique identifier for each user (we only store that id and don't ever store the email address from them). I fear that Apple are going to make this impossible for us to do this going forward which would be a negative experience for our users.
> I don't like the idea of attention span in the context of media consumption.

You not liking it doesn't make it any less of a fact...
> When I was younger I was pretty painfully shy, so (4) I would not seek feedback, but not out of a lack of humility.

To fix such a things in a questionnaire there are 9 questions. Maximum score you could possible get is 9 times 7 = 63, but probably not many people would get so much. Even those who are super humble.

> Also (3) I don't get, because while I am extremely motivated by intellectual curiosity, I have maybe zero motivation to "develop my intelligence" like it was some kind of fitness thing.

So you do not reflect on your weaknesses in order to develop intelligence? Or you are doing it sometimes, when it is obvious for you that your task needs more intelligence from you? Maybe 3 as an answer would fit?

> I don't think that is really related to humility.

Good questionnaires are not like a random internet ones. There are special methods allowing to ensure that questionnaire is measuring what we want to measure, not something else. For example, you can measure intellectual humility based on the interviewing a participant, and then ask participant to fill a questionnaire with a 50 questions (or maybe 150, as much as your creativity could devise), that you think might be good. Get 50 participants, or maybe 100. The more is better, but it is a long and difficult task, to interview 100 people, and if you used a several PhD students as interviewers, than you need to control for interviewer also, because different people could get different results even when asking the same questions. So you would need even more participants to get a statistical significance. Number of questions itself also increases the number of data points needed.

After you gathered data, you would run it through R to find questions that are the best fit, to reduce questionnaire to bearable size. Probably after it you should test your new questionnaire by the same tactic you invented it. You even might need to do this, if at the first stage you got insufficient number of participants. But now you would need no factor analysis or something like, just a correlation would be enough. Or maybe chi-square.

I didn't read an article itself, but it is a published paper in a reviewed journal, so I bet it is done good, not just authors picked 9 questions on a random. Therefore I bet, that if you don't think that it is really related to humility, than you probably should change your mind and think the other way around. If it somehow important for you, I'd suggest to find a full text of paper describing methods used to devise a questionnaire and read them through. Maybe you are right after all. There might be a statistical mistakes, mistakenly used statistical methods for example, or some issues with the data gathering.
Yeah bleed the piggy... then declare bankruptcy.
The best solution imo is an open and federated email proxy standard, so that others can self-host an equivalent identity protection layer.
Their quarrel is with the government not the black majority. There are plenty of black South Africans struggling in that system as well.
Thank god. Their website is so bad that it’s almost like they are trying not to sells books.

Last week I had a gift card for BN that I needed to use, and tried to buy an audiobook on bn.com from my iPhone. It was damn near impossible to find anything and I still don’t know how to search for an audiobook.

Such a shame, as I used to love their physical stores.

Hopefully these folks will do a much better job.
I’ve always found the svn alias ‘svn praise’ pretty entertaining for this reason.
There's something wrong with the data at that URL - the data, not the web site which is really attractive and responsive.

The first two states checked out were funky. That there are $659M of wireless phone exports from Calif to China doesn't pass the smell test. It's an incredible claim requiring incredible proof but there's nothing there despite the state being colored in as suffering Extremely Significant Damage. Another state, Florida, gets off more easily and only suffers Very Significant Damage. Drilling down it turns out the goods being tariffed aren't good at all: The tariffed items are literally scrap gold jewelry and scrap metals.

California's stealthy cellphone export I'm pretty sure don't exist. I'd argue that Florida's scrap exports are resources better kept in country as feedstock to help spur on-shore manufacturing.

I'm going out on a limb and expect the remaining 48 states are showing tariffs on bulk minerals, ag products, trash, and make-believe products. Tariffs on these items are positives insofar as they keep input costs low for domestic producers.

When the LimeSDR Kickstarter was underway, one of the selling points was launching an app store based on Snaps on Ubuntu, I think this is the current version of that [1], which seems a bit empty to me.

GNURadio does also have a store directly for it called PyBOMBS [2] as well, though it is unfortunately not included by default, and it has been a few years since I checked it so I don't know how much it has.

Gnuradio is a bit overcomplicated at this point also, using both Qt and GTK, and a long list of other dependencies.

Luaradio[2] is quite nice as an alternative, and is much easier to embed into an end application as Lua itself is very good at that kind of thing.

Nobody is in a protected class. In civil rights law, protected class does not refer to any specific group of people, but to the classifications that the law applies to. For instance, religion is a protected class, but the law applies equally to all. The confusion arises I believe because people think of it like "middle class", or "working class", but it is not. In the case of religion, because it is a protected class, discrimination based on religion is illegal, but the law protects all equally, so Baptists are treated the same as Mormons, for example. Racists are protected just the same as anyone else. Whether or not someone is racist is irrelevant in this context.
Completely agree. There needs to be some concept of a marketplace that doesn't have monopoly power, and a list of "fair play" rules around those. The only difference between Apple's actions and 90's Microsoft is marketshare. It's a similarly anti-competitive in intent.
The Google Play Store will show "contains ads" under the install button. Same for "contains in app purchases". Makes it much easier to see which app is really free.
Also very expensive.

Asking the king permission to sue the king seems a bit like what the founders fought against than what they founded.

I doubt I have time to attend law school, get a degree and sue the govt before things change drastically. Not sure for the better.

Similarly, very few applications need more performance than you can get by scaling vertically and having a hot spare replica database.

Although a distributed data store on a few cheaper VPSes/nodes is probably less expensive.
And their SEO is terrible. You have to go to google and add the domain to any query to find a book on their site.
There's a lot of debate about the electrical utility's (PG&E) responsibility for other fires. But I think this shows that it's really a matter of when, not if, fires will break out. If it's not an electrical wire sparking in the wind it will be a hammer or a tail pipe.
Whatever happen to the satellite California was going to launch to study climate change. Is that still happening?
Facebook never sold data to CA
Yeah, I do agree here - as much as I love to believe that this is a core belief of all the employees at apple - and in my experience this is a true statement - we have to remember that Apple is a company, and there is undeniably a huge marketing ability in privacy given that their business model doesn't depend on selling information.

But there's also a huge security benefit to apple not tracking this information: A hacker/angry-former-employee/creepy-current-employee can't access it either (eg. like the various stories we here about fb,uber,etc admins and employees spying on people).
Foremost, I'd also like to say thank you for providing such a detailed reply to the top level comment

But I also wanted to extend my admiration of that very crafty email address. I'm sorry I didn't think of it first
Technically I can't think of one. I think the last line of the article might be the key: "By introducing a level of decentralization to the governance of the project, Facebook may be able to avoid regulation related to it holding too much power over a global currency."

That plus cryptocurrencies is still a buzzword that generates interest and speculation (especially since they've rebounded a bit these past few months).
Most states do have no trespassing signs on the rights of ways though.
