I would be down for ghost in the shell merging with select individuals. But the borg feels like... just dying pointlessly. It’s like you’re assuming that you’re joining a greater purpose simply because there’s more people in it than you yourself. It’s up there for least compelling ideologies.
"It’s about price because consumers can’t measure by anything else."

They can, but it's obviously the biggest signal.

But let's not confuse the plight of the middle/upper middle class who can afford to start to invest in aspiration, and make other qualitative judgments about things like supply chain.

China+Wallmart have made entire categories of goods and services available to regular working people, at prices they can afford. The consumer surpluses have been vast.

However much we may not like all of the ugly bits that come along with that new reality (and there are many) - we often forget the immense surpluses they bring to quite a lot of people.

Most people don't have a lot of money and are very price sensitive, and being able to afford 'stuff' can in many cases improve their lives quite dramatically.

Anecdotally, I've been helping to create a physical product for mass consumption, and this has really hit home with me in our earlier trials and feedback from customers. Without getting into specifics, the 'simple' version of our product at $40 is accessible to most. The fancy version at $80 will be beyond the reach of most. Margins will be what they can be, but for the first time in my professional career, it dawned on my quite clearly all of these folks clamouring for our product for whom we would have to say 'no' to, because of price point: they are not going to be able to get the little bump in lifestyle. It was the weirdest bit of 'capitalist equality/opportunity' logic, but I really felt bad that we might have to tell all those folks that they 'can't have it'. All things equal, I want to make it as affordable as I can because that brings a lot of benefit to people.

So yes, after 20 years of this China-Wallmart global supply chain powerhouse ... maybe we should start to take stock of all of these externalities, but let's also not forget how much of the surpluses go to those who need it.

Now consider that there are still 4 billion people who are going to 'come online' into basic economic prosperity who are going to want and need 'stuff' to!

I hope we start to figure out plastics, waste, pollution, but we also want to make stuff accessible.
Metric might be easier but there are some things I prefer in Imperial. Temperature can be interesting. 22 can be to cold in the winter and 23 can be to warm. I set my thermostat to Fahrenheit where I could control the temp more precisely (76). Speed is anther interesting measurement. When you drive 5 - 7 miles over the limit in the US (and along time ago in Canada), the police typically won't pull you over since the fine is basically per mile over. But in Canada that same 5-7 MPH is 8 -12 KPH and might get you a ticket since the fine is based per KPH over.

Like OP said, anyone in construction in Canada is using Imperial Measurements on the job site (even the guys from Europe). Just makes more sense somehow.

I grew up with both systems (Canada switched when I was a teenager) and to this day strangely still prefer Imperial for measurement, temperature, speed, and weight.
> people consume education when they can't find a job

I think many of our youth are "consuming" higher education because that's what they're expected to do.

> it's sort of like taking stimulants when you're hungry

I'd say it's more like teaching someone how to swim by tossing them off a boat, but with life preservers so they kinda squirm around and do alright but they ain't really swimmin
I was involved with this one for another cloud provider.

I have a personal Digital Ocean (not my employer) instance that is frequently being probed for stuff (primarily Russian and Chinese IPs). Same old, same old.

I've been running with the rule for around a week just logging & dropping small MSS packets out of curiosity, but hardly seen anything worth writing home about. I was somewhat surprised. I'm curious to see how long it takes for that rule to go nuts (my shellshock rule still triggers from time to time, that had a definite curve of action)
Ummm...you can't compare higher education spending with elementary/secondary school staffing, as those two graphs in the link do.
I think this transcends this as hospital workers were asked to distinctly mark protestors. Stateside passwords are commonplace if only for HIPPA compliance.
His point is that the external threat of barbarians or whatever is what held together civilizations like Rome. They had an external threat to rally together against. Here in the US the period after 9/11 was very similar, or after Pearl Harbor, etc etc.
I think we're doing really well at moving toward a solution to CO2 buildup. The cost of renewables has fallen remarkably, and will almost certainly continue to fall. Once fossil fuels become uneconomical the air will go out of their balloon, and they will not be able to bribe politicians to keep the burning going.

I think you're going to be amazed at the changes that are coming, and how relatively painless they will be.

I also don't like telemetry but that's outside this topic I guess.
Thanks. I will look into this. I would like to see examples that obviously require algorithm-grouping or type-grouping, as in my experience, algorithm-grouping has always lead to headaches.

I think I have encountered this issue in the past but was turned of by the lack of formality in the discussion. I wish there was more academic, concrete discussion of these issues, because I feel that what I am doing now (informal discussion) likely has many holes.
Wow, no, this is almost insulting.

Having to raise a family, maintain one's well-being, and being a good community member all while having to live in dour conditions that are never likely to improve, I would argue is actual adversity.

the President has the discretion to limit reporting of intelligence activities to only eight members of Congress (all of whom, by definition, belong to the two major parties)

1: that's not "absolutely zero oversight"

2: It seems like a reasonable way to maintain critical secret information while still informing members of the opposition party. That means at least several of these members are being briefed:

Dianne Feinstein - California

Ron Wyden - Oregon

Martin Heinrich - New Mexico

Angus King - Maine

Kamala Harris - California

Michael Bennet - Colorado

If something goes totally off the rails they can provide oversight.
While lots of cheap bicycles are made in China it's also where practically all high end carbon fiber bikes are made as well. Just like we discounted made in Japan a generation ago, we like to do the same with China today. It's true for some industries but just wishful thinking for many. Look at what's happening with Chinese cars for an example of rapid manufacturing improvement
> I have slowly curated such a list, but it's as I said you need to go out of your way and often get custom things from niche brands.

Any plans on making this list publicly available?
Yep. I wanted a good American made roasting rack so I went to Williams Sonoma. They're all made in China now.

> If you can point out concretely how Hong Kong people have been misunderstanding mainland people, please let us know. We want to speak in a way that more people can understand.

I think there is a disinformation campaign against Hong Kong people here at mainland (Actually, this should be "in fact", not "I think").

During the Umbrella Movement, I asked around for people's opinion, many believes HongKongers was seeking for separation rather than democracy. One thing that makes such disinformation campaign easy, I think is because the slogan is not hitting the real goal. It could be more clear if something like「我要真民主 (I want real democracy)」is run a long side with the slogan「我要真普選」. The key is to leave no gap for those disinformation campaigners to operate.

Also, 蝗蟲論 (https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E8%9D%97%E8%9F%B2%E8%AB%96) is very harmful. Many of my family member, even young ones believes "HongKong people thinks we are locusts". I personally view this objectively (In short, "Then why you go there and brought all of their milks?"), but many people don't.

Communication is important, you know. The two side must understand each other better so the common goal might be reached. Don't be fall to the trap and got Divide and Conquered.

As opposed to American corporate interests lining up to money bomb politics out from underneath you?

Nobody seems to have contested that the emails released were real emails written by the Democrats. It is a pretty disgraceful violation of privacy, but ultimately if honestly talking about what your political opponents are doing is an election winning strategy the future is bright.

Most of the evidence is telling the truth about politicians doesn't move the needle all that much. I doubt it is a trend that will catch on, the Republicans are probably going to stick to calling people names.
I think another aspect of this is when life is generally good you start to pay more attention to the little things, and generally there are going to be small annoyances in life. When someone is fighting to feed their family getting a good meal is a hugely uplifting thing, but when hunger isn’t an issue having food come later than you like at a restaurant becomes annoying.

I’ve certainly experienced this in myself growing up. We grew up poor but most things didn’t get us down, they were just normal aspects of life. We had to hunt for bargains, not take vacations, always cook at home. It was the baseline. When we did eat out everyone was looking forward to it and really enjoyed it. Now life in economic sense is measurably better for me, but eating out at whatever place I feel like is the new baseline. I no longer look forward to it, it’s just feeding myself. Now when I can’t decide what I want to have for dinner it becomes a minor annoyance. Something objectively better has become in some ways a worse experience.

I try to put things in perspective and be grateful for what I have now, but I admit I don’t always succeed.
Their pricing scheme does not make them come off as reputable. And, because stocks are an efficient market, the advice will become worthless once more people have access to it.
Same thing applies to a lot of produce in california, still tends to taste worse.
> This was only made possible by enormous federal subsidies for returning soldiers and huge investments in public infrastructure by the federal government.

> People ... couldn’t imagine returning to the city which continued to decline.

I begin to wonder whether the demise of the city was really caused by the government subsidies of the suburban lifestyle. It's not that Levittown isn't sustainable anymore, it's that it never was, not on a long term scale. Low density living should be expensive because it is expensive. The government chose to invest in suburbs instead of the city. The city rotted without investment, exacerbating the problem.

It's only the last couple decades as governments tightened their coffers that the suburbs have had to carry their own load- and they can't.
I wish they made their licensing clearer. Their website has nothing to say about this. There is no "LICENSE" file at the top-level of their main source repo, nor any discussion of licensing in their README.

Many of their actual source files have a copyright notice at the top including an EPL (Eclipse Public License) grant, so it looks like this is licensed under EPL. But they could make that fact clearer. (Also, I haven't actually checked every single source file, so there is some risk some of them might be under different license terms.)
When Socratic dialogue is done well, it is pretty helpful. When I read some article, I have questions in my head as the author makes her points. If the author is good enough, they can anticipate the reader's questions and write directly to the internal dialogue occurring in my head.

Plato merely makes this process explicit in his Socratic dialogues.

So, the existence of poorly thought out or agenda driven dialogues do not in themselves show the method is a bad one, just like bad musicians do not discredit music as a whole.
I've had good luck with any Taiwanese goods that I've bought to the point that I trust Taiwanese goods as much my own American goods.

> Any arguments based on lower cost of anything collapse instantly.

That's too broad an assumption. In truth, it'll depend on WHAT you are trying to manufacture and if you can keep it on Mars and send its product/output back to Earth. I'm not going to try to predict what stuff we'll want in the future because I don't know. But it's too early to dismiss the possibility of "real utility".

Ok, so you're basically using straight SQL for development.
I own a 2017 Giant and it was made in Taiwan. They've always made their bikes in Taiwan. In fact Taiwan is the performance bike manufacturing capital of the world (largely thanks to Giant). Giant have carbon manufacturing techniques and knowledge that is renowned as the worlds best. All of this always happened in Taiwan.
Even better, just get an app that puts everybody who is not a contact right in voicemail. I don't know why this is not a built-in open on iOS and Android. If you're expecting a call from a non-contact just turn it off for 15 minutes or call them back.
Most (all?) washing machines are 120V. Electric dryers rarely are, because they need a lot more power. I had a small washer/dryer combo unit years ago that used 120V, and it took about four hours to dry a load that was about half the size of a normal dryer’s capacity.

Running both voltages into a house isn’t much of a burden. Residential electricity in the US is two-phase. A 120V circuit pulls from one phase, with the various circuits in your house divided between them to even out the load. A 240V circuit just connects to both phases.
Thank you for summing this in one paragraph.

This is a third-party extension, but it looks like the owner is still actively maintaining it, and pretty active on GH in general.
I know the S/X have the functionality. I haven't been in a Model 3 so I can't say for sure.
110 (120 really) volt washing machines are very common, at least in the US. Dryers, on the other hand, are 240 here.
there is a Levittown on Long Island, New York and its doing just fine economically even though you can tell that the children of the boomers who enjoyed the previous decades aren't so comfortable. Most youth still lives with their parents and drives shit cars.
That looks very good, thanks
Yes, people seem to greatly underestimate how much their own outlook affects others.

This is actually an important quality I try to look for when hiring. I've seen some very technically competent leads cause team productivity and morale to plummet due to their negativity and pessimistic outlook.

It's "over" until it isn't:
> That’s why Giant is open to reverting production to its Chinese plants if the U.S. and China are able to hammer out a trade deal. If America “decides to remove the 25% tariff, we will move the production back to China right away,” Tu said.

It's entirely plausible that, in the modern world, this is actually a negative.

Also, for all anyone knows, just "improving" mitochondria might also hurt due to increased production of free radicals and other strongly oxidizing species by those improved mitochondria.
If one is convinced that their lot in life is dour, there is often no specific change or improvement that would change that outlook. Objectively, almost all of us in the Western world have it very good compared with the vast majority of human beings who have lived on this planet. This is true even if we work in menial jobs or have less than glamorous lifestyles.
That is a great point.

Plenty of items that I have purchased and been unhappy with personally have found their way back to thrift stores.

I try to donate primarily to the more local actual charities that do a lot of good in my community like the salvation army, but I have no problem donating to for profit thrift stores either as I am in them often and I can see the great things that they're doing for a very large number of less wealthy people.
Last August, I wrote in this column that the 255 official historical markers

Speed limits apply to motorized vehicles. Not to bicycles.
My understanding is that the temperature used to melt aluminum, steel, and other metals for recycling is so high that food waste burns off quickly and doesn't pose any contamination problems. At worst you might have some slag to skim off the top.

Paper is the main thing that frequently has contamination problems, because it can't be treated with high heat during the recycling problem lest you just end up paper. Even plastic is heated pretty decently during the recycling process.
Not a medical professional, but if you're positive that the patient is going to be admitted then bypassing the ER may make a lot of financial sense for the patient. Going to the ER is expensive, so moving directly to admitting cuts a lot of cost.

If you don't believe me and are in the US, call your insurance company and ask "what's my out of pocket if I'm admitted to the hospital for 1 night going through the ER vs going through an urgent care center?" There's a pretty good chance the ER route will be at least $1000 higher.

This is well documented [0] and has been going on for years. Rather than take a straightforward approach of hiring more community managers (which is expensive) to solve the problem they instead rely on algorithms that punish probable child abuse with demonetization (harking back to my earlier point that it's all about money) rather than say banning and reporting to authorities.

Do those Levitt houses have the same cachet as Eichler houses do in the Bay Area? They were both post war answers to demand for quick cookie cutter houses that people would like to live in.

Seems Eichler took cues from Lloyd-Wright and hired disciples, so the architecture looks nicer (although his didn’t have to contend with more continental climates), but from a usability and livability PoV, wonder if they deliver equally when it comes to providing a “home “
Here's a golden oldie from 1996:

https://packetstormsecurity.com/files/15507/CA-96.26.ping.ht...

My favorite of that era was simply the working-as-designed simplicity of sneaking the Hayes modem hangup sequence into various protocols: actual Hayes modems used +++ with a time-delay to send commands such as ATH0 (hangup) but everyone else skipped that time-delay in an attempt to avoid the patent so you could disconnect any modem-connected system if you could figure out how to get it to echo "+++ATH0". Some IP stacks (e.g. Windows 95) would simply send the received ICMP payload as the response so a simple `ping -p …` would do it but people found ways to cause similar problems with sendmail, FTP, etc.

Ironically, the pic at the top of the article has many bikes painted "Trek" in the background despite the caption saying it's Giant's facility. In truth, pretty much every major bike manufacturer makes their frames in Taiwan, often in the same facilities. Decals and branding are applied after.

There's a huge amount of manufacturing know-how and infrastructure around bike manufacture in Taiwan, especially around carbon fiber manufacturing. You can even go buy a carbon frame design in Taiwan, you pay more for the design if you want it to be exclusive.

Therefore, it's not terribly surprising that they moved to Taiwan. If they were moving to the US that would be something.
I'm pretty okay with it... if you're really concerned, run it in a full virtual machine to isolate it.
